Letrinhas: tecnologia assistiva aplicada à dislexia em crianças por meio do desenvolvimento de uma solução tecnológica com foco na alfabetização inclusiva

Abstract

Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that impairs reading and writing fluency and accuracy, affecting the academic performance and self-esteem of children during the literacy phase. This work proposes the development of a cross-platform educational application as an assistive technology, focusing on promoting accessibility, inclusion, and personalized learning. The system is based on a modular and expandable architecture, allowing continuous updates of content and functionalities. The solution integrates gamification features, text-to-speech functionality, accessible design, and interactive pedagogical activities to foster engagement, autonomy, and the development of reading and writing skills. The methodology includes requirements gathering, prototyping, development using Flutter, and a preliminary usability evaluation. It is expected that the application will contribute effectively to the literacy process of children with dyslexia and provide support for educators and family members in monitoring the learning process.
