Dyslexia Help in Kenya: Dyslexia-Africa

If a child can’t read and write, it could be a condition called Dyslexia. Kenyan children who think in pictures go unnoticed or are called slow learners. Imagine having to change schools every now and then always blaming the school’s teachers for not understanding your child. Indeed, statistics indicate that out of any class of 40 pupils in Kenya, four are dyslexic.What this means is that in any school population, dyslexics are likely to be enrolled in every private and government schools. Yet only  five dyslexics out of a school population of 100 are recognized and appropriately cared for. To ignore this fact is detrimental. The challenge of often changing a child’s environment, the money spent and just as they settle in another school, the same problem arises.

This is what I had to endure with two of my children. Feeling so let down by the education system, I took it upon herself to research on what the underlying issue was. My Son Aasav Harania is a bright and normal child. When I spoke to him and spent time with him, he was fine and brilliant. But once he sat for any exam, articulating what he knows orally into paper was always a challenge.

I then found this wonderful program which can help children overcome their Dyslexia. Through The internet I found this book called The Gift of Dyslexia by Ron Davis. I read it and wanted to help my son go for the program. He then went for the program and found a great improvement in his reading and writing skills. He also improved in his confidence.

Through this inspiration I got myself trained for the Davis Dyslexia Correction Facilitator program. My inspiration is to help as many people as possible with Dyslexia and all learning Difficulties. I want to create awareness to the public about dyslexia and help as many children and adults overcome the learning difficulties. My main objective is to enable people with Dyslexia to unlock their potential and achieve according to their abilities within education and employment sector.
