🌍 Why ZakiBrain

The Challenge & Our Answer

Arabic-speaking children deserve tools built specifically for their language — not adapted from others.

The Challenge

Arabic is widely spoken yet critically under-served — evidence-based assessment tools and literacy programs designed specifically for Arabic-speaking children are scarce.

Clinical and educational professionals need reliable, valid tools to identify children's strengths and weaknesses accurately.

Professionals need programs that address children's weaknesses and simultaneously train language, literacy and thinking skills.

Children learn best when programs are enjoyable and build on their existing language and cognitive strengths.

ZakiBrain's Solution

ZakiBrain's tools are built for Arabic — accounting for its linguistic structure and diglossic sociolinguistic context.

ZakiBrain's tools take into account diglossia and linguistic distance between spoken dialect and Standard Arabic.

ZakiBrain's tools are grounded in empirical psycholinguistic evidence from hundreds of Arabic-speaking children.

ZakiBrain's tools incorporate engaging, enjoyable activities that children love.
