Mumbai, India: Ahana Dalmia, a high school student, is breaking new ground in educational technology with an initiative aimed at supporting children with learning disabilities, ADHD, and ADD. Her innovative app, designed to enhance memory, language, and cognitive skills, is making waves, not only in India but globally.
Ahana’s journey began during her volunteer work with Magic Bus, an NGO focused on empowering children from marginalized communities. Witnessing firsthand the struggles of children with learning disabilities, as well as those faced by her cousins, she was inspired to take action. A tech enthusiast who has been coding since the age of eight, Ahana set out to develop a digital solution that could make learning more accessible and enjoyable for children with special educational needs.
Her app, which features seven interactive games, is designed to improve vocabulary, focus, and memory retention. To ensure its effectiveness, Ahana collaborated with certified psychologists to develop game categories tailored to children with learning disabilities. One standout feature is “bionic reading,” a unique approach that helps enhance reading speed and comprehension by guiding the user’s eye focus.
Since its launch, the app has achieved over 3,500 downloads, proving its effectiveness and popularity among parents, educators, and children alike. Ahana’s dedication doesn’t end with the app; she has organized workshops across 30 schools and 3 NGOs in India to help children and teachers understand how to best use this tool in classrooms and beyond.
The app’s impact has earned the attention of the Akanksha Foundation, a leading non-profit in the field of education, which has adopted it as part of its curriculum. This recognition underscores the potential of Ahana’s work to transform how children with learning disabilities approach their education.
Developed using state-of-the-art technology, including React Native, .NET, SQL Database, and Azure, the app showcases Ahana’s technical prowess and innovative thinking. More importantly, it highlights her empathetic approach to solving real-world challenges.
With this initiative, Ahana is setting a powerful example of how young minds can harness technology to address critical societal needs. Her app is not only helping children with learning disabilities but is also paving the way for more inclusive education across India.
