DINO by Paperbox is a best-in-class platform designed for the early identification of learning disorders in children aged 5 to 8 years. It functions as a web-based video game consisting of four engaging minigames that analyze reading and writing prerequisites as outlined in the National Guidelines. DINO provides schools and SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Coordinators) with an accurate, fun, fast, and accessible tool to identify potential learning difficulties early in a child's educational journey. The platform offers different versions specifically calibrated for preschool and primary school students, ensuring age-appropriate assessment.

The platform features four distinct assessment levels, each targeting specific cognitive skills essential for learning development. Level 1 (Space Sea) assesses grapheme recognition and visuo-spatial orientation, while Level 2 (Vulcanolary) evaluates vocabulary knowledge and phonological awareness. Level 3 (Pyramid of Sounds) tests short-term and working memory capabilities, and Level 4 (Alphabet Park) assesses left-to-right sequencing and visual-verbal association. DINO's key benefit is its efficiency, allowing cognitive assessment for an entire class in less than 20 minutes, with each child playing independently for approximately 15 minutes.

Implementation in schools follows a straightforward three-step process requiring minimal setup and resources. First, educators need only a quiet classroom where small groups of children can play without distraction. Second, they set up workstations with tablets and over-ear headphones (which Paperbox can provide upon request) for each student. Third, while an adult supervisor manages children's movements, DINO handles the actual assessment process. Once sessions are complete, teachers can access a comprehensive dashboard displaying both individual student profiles with detailed results and school-wide data, allowing for immediate identification of potential learning difficulties and appropriate intervention planning.
