Our approach uses assistive technology to transform the teaching pedagogy for divyang children, shifting from typical flashcards to an interactive method.
Having been involved in this domain through his son "Siddh," Mr. Mehta understands that the teaching pedagogy in Divyang schools is antiquated, relying heavily on old methods like using flashcards. This method is dull and monotonous, causing students, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, to lose interest in studying.
Siddh Divyang platform which consist of web application is our humble initiative to educate primary school divyang children and their parents, aiming to improve their lives.
The platform, installed on the computer, uses an RFID Reader/Tag combination and Image ICONs to help divyang children communicate with the application. The unique and most important aspect of the product is its focus on an "Interactive Gaming Approach" to assess how much the child has learned, with the objective of increasing attention and improving retention levels.
To use this application, the child doesn't need to operate or touch the computer. The RFID reader and tag serve as an alternative keyboard, allowing the child to interact with the computer application.
