Able
Able is an educational tool that seeks to create empathy in children towards dyslexia, a learning disability that often goes unnoticed and is stigmatized in India.
As a memory card game, Able simulates the frustration of having dyslexia and is intended to be used by teachers to facilitate discussions about the condition in the classroom.
By sensitizing non-dyslexic children at an early age, Able aims to promote awareness and acceptance of dyslexia, fostering values of empathy, respect and understanding towards those who experience the world differently. Ultimately, the game has the potential to contribute to preventing bullying and other forms of cruelty by encouraging children to see from another person’s perspective.
