A proud achievement for the Maharashtra Dyslexia Association, DALI (Dyslexia Assessment for Languages of India) was launched on October 15th, 2015, by Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Minister for Science & Technology.
With an estimated 35 million children in India potentially affected by dyslexia, the lack of standardized tools in Indian languages has made screening and diagnosis challenging—until now. Developed by the National Brain Research Centre, DALI is the first indigenously created dyslexia screening and assessment tool, available in Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, and English, with more languages in development.
DALI includes screening tools for teachers and assessment batteries for psychologists, standardized across 4,840 children. This project, led by Prof. Nandini Chatterjee Singh, was supported by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
