Overview
Adapt one lesson for a learner with dyslexia, low vision or attention difficulties, guided by a special educator.
Skills you will use
Safety and ethics
- This project involves people. Explain what you are doing and get their consent (a parent's or teacher's for children), let anyone stop at any time, collect only what you need, and remove names before you share results.
- This project handles personal data. Collect the minimum, store it safely, get permission, and delete it when the project ends.
Materials and tools
- Advice from a special educator
- Materials to adapt
- Permission from the school and parents
Step-by-step roadmap
Start
You will finish with: adapted material and notes from the educator.
- 1
Prerequisites
Nothing special to know first. Then collect the 3 items in the materials list.
- 2
Learn
Read up on special education: accessibility, inclusive education, learning support. Your textbook chapter and one short video are enough.
- 3
Plan
List the features for version one, sketch the screens or data flow and pick the tools. Keep the first version small.
- 4
Build
- Learn about one learning difficulty from a reliable source and a special educator.
- Choose a lesson to adapt.
- Adapt the text, layout and activities.
- Try it with the educator's guidance.
- Record what helped.
- 5
Test
Try it with wrong, empty and unusual input, and ask someone else to use it without your help.
- 6
Document
Write a README: what it does, how to run it, screenshots and what you learned. Report structure
- 7
Present
Show a live demo of one complete task, then the design and the hardest problem you solved. Presentation structure
- 8
Publish
Put the code on GitHub with the README and, if you can, deploy a live demo.
Expected outcome
Adapted material and notes from the educator.
Other versions of this project
Advanced version
Create a small kit of adaptations for a teacher.

- Hours 2–16: build only the first version
- Hours 16–20: test the demo path end to end and fix what breaks
- Hours 20–24: slides, a 2-minute demo script and a backup recording
48-hour
- Evening 1: problem, user, sketch and task split
- Day 1: first version working end to end
- Day 2 morning: one stretch goal and testing
- Day 2 afternoon: polish, slides and demo practice
1-week
