Desi Bootsman (HvA): Mazehunter: playful learning for children with dyslexia
Mazehunter is developing a digital-physical hybrid game for children diagnosed with dyslexia, that translates innovative dyslexia treatment to an attractive and addictive game environment.
Research shows that the cooperation of the hemispheres together has a lot of influence on the processing of information. In people with dyslexia, this processing and cooperation works differently, making learning more difficult.
