Abstract

Learning disability is a general term that describes specific kinds of learning problems. People that have learning disability usually have troubles with reading, writing and speaking which are the most important activities that we do every day. Nowadays, with the development of technology and network, Internet has been introduced and has become significant to us. People especially children who have learning disability such as dyslexia may face some difficulties with surfing the internet. This paper suggests a method that will be able to assist and improve their language skills. This paper applies the visual conceptual method that uses images to help dyslexic children in understanding the meaning of a word. Furthermore, it also applies the usage of sound to help them pronounce words correctly by dividing the words by parts so that children can learn easily. The other reason why the word is divided is because of the difficulties that the dyslexic children have of forming up sounds that each alphabet letters make. This research is done to provide dyslexic children a better experience with the internet and to help them in any possible way.
