Dyslexia is a relatively common language disorder which is generally ignored in rural communities. It hinders children’s learning processes and, in some cases, is the cause of dropouts or violence in schools. The present work strives to create a web and mobile app as a preliminary step towards the diagnosis and treatment of dyslexic children. Apps providing didactic educational games and activities improve literacy skills for students with reading disabilities. The current work incorporates user experience and prototyping to fulfill app requirements. The authors evaluated the apps with the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) tool to assess engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information. The app’s improvements were immediately implemented and tested in the “Escuela Linea Equinoccial” (Ecuador) school, proving its utility for future use in the education system. The app can be a valuable tool for children with dyslexia to progress successfully through school, raising their self-confidence and, thereby, helping them reach their full potential as adults able to make a positive contribution to society.

超越限制：为农村地区的阅读障碍儿童设计 Helpdys 应用程序

阅读障碍是一种相对常见的语言障碍，在农村社区通常被忽视。它阻碍了儿童的学习过程，在某些情况下，它是学校辍学或暴力的原因。目前的工作致力于创建一个网络和移动应用程序，作为诊断和治疗阅读障碍儿童的初步步骤。提供教学教育游戏和活动的应用程序可以提高有阅读障碍的学生的识字技能。当前的工作结合了用户体验和原型设计来满足应用程序要求。作者使用移动应用评级量表 (MARS) 工具对应用进行了评估，以评估参与度、功能、美感和信息。该应用程序的改进立即在“Escuela Linea Equinoccial”（厄瓜多尔）学校实施和测试，证明其未来在教育系统中的实用性。该应用程序可以成为阅读障碍儿童在学校顺利取得进步、提高自信心的宝贵工具，从而帮助他们充分发挥成年人的潜力，为社会做出积极贡献。
