Dr Rakesh Sengupta, Assistant Professor, Psychology, SIAS, has co-developed DyscalcBattery, an open-source cognitive screening tool designed for dyscalculia screening and numerosity perception research.
Addressing a significant gap in learning disability research, DyscalcBattery offers a free, browser-based alternative to existing commercial screening tools that are often calibrated primarily for Western populations. Developed as an open-source platform, the tool is specifically designed for multilingual and low-resource field deployments, enabling researchers and educators to conduct cognitive screening using low-end laptops and tablets.
The tool is currently being used in a large-scale field study involving school children in Warangal, Telangana.
