01. Making an EdTech gamification app accessible & inclusive for Kids - Chimple

Chimple

Designing Learning for Children with Disabilities

Chimple is a gamified learning platform designed for children aged 4-12 with visual and hearing impairments.

Through expert consultations, school visits, and user observations, we identified key accessibility gaps in existing educational apps.

Our research revealed challenges in mobile navigation, language lags, and lack of multi-sensory learning approaches for Chimple

To address this, I designed interactive accessible prototypes for screen reader compatibility, game content for hearing & visually Impaired Kids

By implementing WCAG-compliant accessibility improvements, our solution enhanced independent learning and inclusivity, ensuring children with disabilities could use the app.

Designing Inclusive Learning for Children

Chimple

In collaboration with FMCH, I contributed to the design of Poshan Jodi, a chatbot aimed at increasing fathers’ involvement in maternal and child nutrition.

Our research, conducted through field studies and expert interviews, highlighted how gender stereotypes and communication gaps led to the disproportionate burden of childcare on mothers.

We designed an interactive chatbot prototype that encouraged shared decision-making, provided personalized guidance, and nudged fathers toward healthier food choices and active caregiving.

Our pilot testing showed promising results, with increased male engagement in child nutrition and a shift towards better food purchasing decisions, demonstrating how inclusive design can drive behavioral change at a community level.

Contrast Issue for CTA

Drop downs require multiple taps or gestures to open, navigate, and select an option, which can be difficult with screen readers.

Position of "Next" button on the top right will cause the screen readers to announce it before the main content, which can confuse users or lead them to skip important information.

The contrast between text and background inside the button also 2.91 and fails WCAG contrast guideline.

The background color and the iput box has the same color, causing Accessibility issues

No use case for error is covered.

Even if the mobile number digits are less, send OTP is activated

The "Back" button uses only an icon without a text alternative, making it inaccessible for screen readers.

The disabled CTA button is not properly announced to screen readers, making its state unclear to users.

The contrast between text and background inside the button also 2.74:1 and fails WCAG contrast guideline.

The touch area for selection is too small, making it difficult for users to select the option accurately, especially on mobile devices.

The boy and girl icons look too similar in design, which may confuse users who rely on color differentiation or have color blindness.

The kids are not always under this bracket, a lot of VI Kids start using digital devices much later in life. This data will help in content creation for kids
