About
A Cowork plugin and standalone skill set that provides: Remediation & Cognitive Prosthetics — Evidence-based intervention plans grounded in structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham methodology, and IDA standards. Explicitly distinguishes remediation targets (trainable skills) from bypass targets (persistent deficits requiring permanent cognitive prosthetics: text-to-speech, speech-to-text, audiobooks via Learning Ally/Bookshare, OCR, spell-checkers, dyslexia-friendly fonts). Standards & Regulatory Compliance — Audit programs, IEPs, 504 plans, workplace policies, and tools against the applicable legal framework: IDA Knowledge and Practice Standards, IDEA (K-12), Section 504 (K-12 and higher ed), ADA Title I (workplace), ADA Title II (public colleges), ADA Title III (private colleges and public accommodations). Clinical frameworks: DSM-5, ICD-11. Document Generation — K-12 IEPs/504s, higher-ed disability services requests, workplace ADA Title I accommodation letters, clinical evaluation sum

# dyslexia-support-skill [](https://github.com/justice8096/dyslexia-support-skill/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) A clinical and accommodation framework treating dyslexia as a **neurodevelopmental cognitive disorder** — a lifelong, brain-based difference in phonological and orthographic processing architecture — across the full lifespan: K-12, higher education, workplace, and adult contexts. > **AI-Assisted Development**: This project was built with Claude AI assistance. See [audits/contribution-analysis.md](audits/contribution-analysis.md) for the full human-vs-AI attribution breakdown. ## Clinical Framing Dyslexia is a **persistent neurodevelopmental cognitive disorder**, not a learning difficulty that resolves with sufficient instruction. The neuroscience is unambiguous: - **Neural architecture** — Left temporoparietal cortex, visual word form area (VWFA), and inferior frontal gyrus show structural and functional differences (Shaywitz; Dehaene; Gabrieli et al.) - **Clinical classification** — DSM-5 Specific Learning Disorder with impairment in reading (315.00); ICD-11 Developmental Learning Disorder with impairment in reading (6A03.0) - **Lifespan persistence** — Phonological processing differences remain detectable into adulthood even after successful remediation This distinction matters in practice. Accommodations must compensate for a **persistent cognitive processing difference**, not merely scaffold a temporary learning gap. This skill takes the two-track approach: | Track | Target | Intervention | |-------|--------|--------------| | **Remediation** | Trainable skills (phonological awareness, decoding accuracy, fluency) | Structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham methodology | | **Cognitive Prosthetics** | Persistent processing differences | Permanent assistive technology stack (TTS, STT, audiobooks, OCR) | ## What This Is A Cowork plugin **and** standalone skill set that provides: - **Remediation & Cognitive Prosthetics** — Evidence-based intervention plans grounded in structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham methodology, and IDA standards. Explicitly distinguishes remediation targets (trainable skills) from bypass targets (persistent deficits requiring permanent cognitive prosthetics: text-to-speech, speech-to-text, audiobooks via Learning Ally/Bookshare, OCR, spell-checkers, dyslexia-friendly fonts). - **Standards & Regulatory Compliance** — Audit programs, IEPs, 504 plans, workplace policies, and tools against the applicable legal framework: IDA Knowledge and Practice Standards, IDEA (K-12), Section 504 (K-12 and higher ed), ADA Title I (workplace), ADA Title II (public colleges), ADA Title III (private colleges and public accommodations). Clinical frameworks: DSM-5, ICD-11. - **Document Generation** — K-12 IEPs/504s, higher-ed disability services requests, workplace ADA Title I accommodation letters, clinical evaluation summaries, cognitive prosthetics prescriptions, and self-advocacy documentation across the lifespan. - **Gap Analysis & Measure Creation** — Identify what's missing in dyslexia support tooling across education, clinical practice, workplace, and consumer technology. Evaluates gaps against legal frameworks, cognitive neuroscience evidence, and adult/workplace outcomes. ## Lifespan Coverage | Life Stage | Regulatory Framework | Document Types | |------------|---------------------|----------------| | **K-12** | IDEA, Section 504, state dyslexia mandates | IEP, 504 Plan, PWN, RTI documentation | | **Higher Education** | Section 504 (all institutions), ADA Title II (public), ADA Title III (private) | Disability services requests, faculty accommodation letters, testing modifications | | **Workplace** | ADA Title I (employers ≥15 employees), Rehabilitation Act (federal contractors) | Reasonable accommodation requests, interactive process documentation, EEOC charges | | **Public Services** | ADA Title II, Title III | Access requests, complaint letters to OCR | | **Clinical** | DSM-5, ICD-11 | Evaluation summaries, diagnostic summary letters, cognitive prosthetics prescriptions | ## Quick Start ```bash git clone https://github.com/justice8096/dyslexia-support-skill.git cd dyslexia-support-skill npm install npm run build # Build all 6 distribution formats npm test # Run 42 integration tests across 7 suites npm run audit # Security audit ``` ### As a Cowork Plugin Install the plugin in Cowork and the four skills + four commands become available automatically. ### As a Standalone Skill Set ```bash git clone https://github.com/justice8096/dyslexia-support-skill.git ``` Point your skill configuration to any of: - `skills/remediation-strategies/SKILL.md` - `skills/standards-compliance/SKILL.md` - `skills/document-generation/SKILL.md` - `skills/gap-analysis/SKILL.md` ## Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/dyslexia-audit` | Audit a program, tool, curriculum, or workplace policy against IDA standards and applicable law (IDEA/504/ADA) | | `/generate-iep` | Generate IEP, 504 plan, ADA workplace accommodation request, or higher-ed disability services documentation | | `/remediation-plan` | Create a two-track plan: remediation (structured literacy) + cognitive prosthetics (AT stack) | | `/content-accessibility-check` | Audit educational, workplace, or consumer content for dyslexia-friendly design across 10 dimensions | ## Standards & Research Foundation Grounded in: **Clinical Frameworks** - **DSM-5** — Specific Learning Disorder (315.00) with impairment in reading - **ICD-11** — Developmental Learning Disorder (6A03.0) with impairment in reading **Neuroscience** - Shaywitz phonological deficit theory - Dehaene visual word form area (VWFA) research - Gabrieli et al. functional and structural neuroimaging - Wolf & Bowers double-deficit hypothesis **Instructional Standards** - **IDA Knowledge and Practice Standards** (2018) — [dyslexiaida.org](https://dyslexiaida.org/kps-for-teachers-of-reading/) - **Structured Literacy** — Six elements as defined by IDA and the National Center on Improving Literacy - **Orton-Gillingham Approach** — [orton-gillingham.com](https://www.orton-gillingham.com/approach/) - **Science of Reading** research literature **Legal Frameworks** - **IDEA** (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) — K-12 special education - **Section 504** of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 — K-12 and higher education - **ADA Title I** — Workplace accommodations - **ADA Title II** — Public entities including public colleges - **ADA Title III** — Private entities including private colleges and public accommodations - **WCAG 2.1** AA — Extended for dyslexia-specific needs ## Target Audience This skill set is designed for anyone supporting dyslexia across the lifespan: - **Developers** building EdTech, workplace AT, and accessibility tools - **Clinicians** — psychologists, speech-language pathologists, reading specialists - **Special educators** and reading interventionists - **Disability services professionals** in higher education - **HR professionals** handling workplace accommodation requests - **Self-advocates** navigating disclosure, accommodation requests, and cognitive prosthetics - **Policy and compliance teams** auditing educational, workplace, or consumer systems ## Install via Claude Code This repo is a self-hosted Claude Code plugin marketplace. Add it once, then install the plugin: ```text /plugin marketplace add justice8096/dyslexia-support-skill /plugin install dyslexia-support-skill@dyslexia-support-skill ``` Once installed, the four skills (`standards-compliance`, `remediation-strategies`, `document-generation`, `gap-analysis`) auto-trigger on relevant prompts. The four slash commands are invoked with the plugin namespace: `/dyslexia-support-skill:dyslexia-audit`, `/dyslexia-support-skill:generate-iep`, `/dyslexia-support-skill:remediation-plan`, `/dyslexia-support-skill:content-accessibility-check`. ## Platform Support This skill builds to 6 formats from a single source in `source/`: Claude Code Plugin, MCP Server, OpenAI Functions, n8n Node, Prompt Library, and CLI Audit Tool. Run `npm run build` to generate all formats in `dist/`. ## Project Structure ``` dyslexia-support-skill/ ├── source/ # Single source of truth │ ├── manifest.json # Central definition (4 skills, 4 commands) │ ├── skills/ # Skill markdown files │ ├── commands/ # Command markdown files │ └── templates/ # Document templates ├── build.ts # Multi-format build system ├── test-build.ts # 42-test integration suite (7 suites) ├── skills/ # Cowork plugin skill directories ├── commands/ # Cowork plugin command files ├── examples/ # Sample audit reports ├── audits/ # Security & compliance audit reports ├── sbom.cdx.json # CycloneDX SBOM ├── SECURITY.md # Vulnerability disclosure policy └── .github/workflows/ci.yml # CI pipeline (Node 18/20/22) ``` ## Disclaimer Generated documents (IEPs, 504 plans, ADA accommodation letters, evaluation summaries, clinical summaries) are professional-quality templates that **require review and approval by qualified professionals**. They are starting points — not substitutes for licensed educators, psychologists, disability attorneys, HR professionals, or medical providers.
