Join our groundbreaking research to develop innovative tools that can help identify dyslexia earlier and create personalized learning solutions. Your participation could make a significant difference in how we understand and support individuals with dyslexia.
Dyslexia affects up to 20% of India's population, including 35 million students, and impacts their reading, writing, and language processing. Our research aims to spread awareness and develop better tools for early identification and personalized support.
We're using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to create innovative screening tools and develop personalized multimodal learning approaches that adapt to individual needs and strengths.
By participating, you'll help advance our understanding of dyslexia and contribute to the development of tools that could benefit millions of people worldwide.
We take your privacy seriously. All data collected during this study will be:
6 categories of tasks, of approximately 15 minutes each, to be done at your convenience.
Reading aloud, typing, writing, reading and mathematical comprehension and aptitude tasks.
Compensation for your time in the form of statistics about the participant, early access to research findings, and the satisfaction of contributing to important research.
Our interdisciplinary team brings together expertise from cognitive science, linguistics, computer science, and education to develop innovative approaches for dyslexia identification and support.

Participants will complete 6 tasks of approximately 5-10 minutes each. Activities include reading exercises, writing samples, typing tasks, and comprehension tests. All sessions can be scheduled at your convenience, and can be conducted remotely.
Yes, all participants will get a good statistics to analyze their performance and will receive early access to research findings and any tools developed as a result of the study.
Your data will be used to develop and validate algorithms that can help identify patterns associated with dyslexia. These algorithms will form the basis of screening tools and personalized learning approaches. All data will be pseudonymized, and no personally identifiable information will be included in any published research or developed tools.
Yes, absolutely. You can withdraw from the study at any time without providing a reason. If you choose to withdraw, you can also request that any data collected from you be deleted from our records. But you will not receive compensation for any completed sessions.
This research study is not designed to provide clinical diagnoses. However, if you are in the control group and our screening tools indicate potential signs of dyslexia, we will provide you with information about professional assessment options. For participants who already have a dyslexia diagnosis, we can share insights about your specific reading and language processing patterns if requested.
The data collection phase of the research will last approximately 2 months. Analysis and development of tools will continue for an additional 6-10 months. Participants will receive updates on the research progress and findings throughout this period.
