        abstract = {Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that leads to developmental and cognitive difficulties. It occurs in roughly one out of every 700 children globally. Many children with Down Syndrome face challenges in language development, short-term memory, and fine motor coordination, which often makes conventional teaching methods less effective. As technology becomes more common in classrooms, digital tools are offering new ways to support students with special learning needs. Still, most educational apps are designed for typical users and often do not meet the needs of children with disabilities. There is a clear need for educational tools that match how children with Down Syndrome learn and interact with information. This research started after noticing that children with Down Syndrome respond well to visual, auditory, and tactile learning cues. Based on these observations, a learning tablet app was developed using UX design, cognitive psychology, and accessibility principles to help improve learning and motivation.},
