| dc.description.abstract | As assessing dyslexia can be a time consuming and costly process, this thesis will look into the possibility of creating an application to be used as a screening tool. The application is based upon the work of Peter C Hansen, and will try to replicate the functionality of a program called Form. Information about the program is gathered trough first hand knowledge from a previous user and research articles describing the testing process and test contents. During development, iterations of the tests is evaluated by an expert for feedback on the proposed implementation. For evaluating the finished product, test scores from a group of dyslexic and non-dyslexic is recorded.
The results from the preliminary evaluation shows a correlation between dyslexics and the test scores obtained for the coherent motion test. Where the dyslexic score on average 61\% higher than the control group. For the coherent form tests, no distinct correlation between dyslexia and test score is prevalent.
For an initial evaluation, the results look promising. However, with the small sample pool of data, further evaluation with larger test groups is needed to assess the usefulness of the implemented solution. | |
