Abstract

Reading comprehension presents a significant challenge for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), often requiring intensive one-on-one reading support. To assist therapists in scaling this support, we developed a multilingual, AI-powered interface that automatically enhances text with visual scaffolding. This system dynamically identifies key concepts and maps them to contextually relevant pictograms, supporting learners across languages. We evaluated the system across five typologically diverse languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Arabic), through multilingual coverage analysis, expert clinical review by speech therapists and special education professionals, and latency assessment. Evaluation results indicate high pictogram coverage and visual scaffolding density across the five languages. Expert audits suggested that automatically selected pictograms were semantically appropriate, with combined correct and acceptable ratings exceeding 95% for the four European languages and approximately 90% for Arabic despite reduced pictogram repository coverage. System latency remained within interactive thresholds suitable for real-time educational use. These findings support the technical viability, semantic safety, and acceptability of automated multimodal scaffolding to improve accessibility for neurodiverse learners.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.
  • Extraction confidence is 0.35 (below strong-reference threshold).

HFEPX Relevance Assessment

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Best use

Background context only

Use if you need

A secondary eval reference to pair with stronger protocol papers.

Main weakness

Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.
