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.
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.
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.
Project Access
If you want to check out the codebase or run the tool, you can find the resources here:

I'm looking for a deep dive into the UI/UX and any potential bugs in the logic flow. Since it's open-source, feel free to poke around the JS files and suggest optimizations for the scoring algorithm.

This is a lifesaver. Which specific section helped you get the most clarity before your doctor's appointment?
So frustrating that it took so long. Does this screener actually catch the subtle signs of dyslexia?
This looks great, but a clinical disclaimer is needed. Who is the target audience for these results?
