Abstract
ELYTHRA is an inclusive game-based learning application designed using Visual Studio platform incorporated with C# programming language and MySQL database system to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities. The application transforms traditional learning methods into interactive digital experiences through educational mini-games focusing on letter recognition, number matching, colour identification, and shape recognition. Gamification elements, including rewards, badges, and achievements, are incorporated to enhance motivation and engagement. ELYTHRA also provides an accessible interface with simple navigation, large buttons, and high-contrast visuals, alongside progress tracking for teachers and parents. The project promotes personalised, self-paced learning while supporting inclusive education and equal access to educational technology, aligned with SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.
