Abstract/Summary
Saksham is a mission-driven educational app created to support neurodivergent children in India, specifically those with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, by delivering accessible, personalized, and culturally relevant learning experiences. The project was inspired by the lack of inclusive educational infrastructure in India and personally motivated by Jasmine’s cousin Bilal, a nationally ranked cricketer who was forced to abandon academics due to the absence of proper learning support.
Designed with empathy and accessibility in mind, Saksham offers foundational literacy and numeracy lessons through dyslexia-friendly fonts, high-contrast visuals, voiceovers, audio cues, gamified modules, and multi-language support. Customizable learning paths and progress tracking adapt to different needs and learning styles, helping reduce stigma and encourage independence.
Saksham is more than an app—it’s a scalable model for inclusive education. The long-term goal is to partner with NGOs and government bodies to integrate it into public systems and bring equitable learning opportunities to neurodivergent children across India.
