EduScreen: An Open-Source ADHD & Dyslexia Screener
Professional screenings for learning difficulties like ADHD and Dyslexia are often prohibitively expensive or inaccessible, leaving too many students struggling without answers. I decided to tackle this by building EduScreen, a free, privacy-first preliminary assessment tool designed to bridge that gap.
Because this is a screening tool, privacy is the priority. There is no backend database, meaning no data tracking and no paywalls. Everything happens client-side.

The goal was to keep the tool completely transparent and lightweight. I avoided heavy frameworks to ensure it loads instantly and remains easy to contribute to.
Technical Implementation
I opted for a "back to basics" stack to ensure maximum compatibility and zero overhead:
- Frontend: HTML5 and CSS3 for a clean, accessible interface.
- Logic: Vanilla JavaScript to handle the assessment scoring and flow.
- Deployment: Hosted via GitHub Pages for a completely serverless, free hosting model.

Might be worth adding a disclaimer that this isn't a clinical diagnosis to manage expectations.

I used a similar tool and found it really helped pinpoint exactly what to ask my doctor.

Took me years to realize why I struggled in school; wish I had this back then.
