Sometimes isn't always
ISOLATION IN EDUCATION
This project was created to help children with dyslexia understand that they are just as powerful and innovative as their classmates, building their confidence and self-worth. In this project, the methods used include typography treatment, specialist feedback, and prototyping. 1 in 10 New Zealand children has dyslexia and low self-esteem due to being behind their classmates. Between the ages of zero and eight, a child’s brain grows to 88%. This is the most important time for a child to develop good habits and an understanding of the world. Providing children aged four to eight with playful, entertaining colour publications and supporting activities can help nurture a kind, confident child. This project focused on creating positive experiences for children in New Zealand schools, showing them how dyslexia isn't a negative or embarrassing issue.
