Dyslexia Teacher - Dyslexia Organizations

Action Dyslexia Delhi

This organization was launched in 1997 by Mrs. Anjuli Bawa, who has gone through the tribulations of being a parent of a dyslexic child.

After many years of searching on her part, she came to understand that one of her children was born dyslexic. She did not shut her mind in despair. With the able support of her husband, she fought the shortsighted establishment and guided them to a superior understanding of this affliction that effects more than 10% of students worldwide.

She made history when after a long drawn out battle with the authorities, she was allowed to provide a scribe for her son during his exams - a first ever in the history of North India.

Madras Dyslexia Association

The Madras Dyslexia Association (MDA) is a non-profit service organization which takes a pragmatic approach to helping dyslexic children. Current educational opportunities do not adequately account for dyslexic children and their problems, and unless they are identified and helped, these children remain unable to cope with the system. MDA was formed with the objective of identifying such children and providing them the support needed to fulfill their potential. Without such support, children sometimes develop emotional and behavioral problems.

From its beginnings in Madras in 1991, the MDA has grown to bring awareness to several districts in Tamilnadu, and now hosts learning centers at more than a dozen schools. A specific need is to train more teachers to cope with dyslexic students and their unique needs, and the MDA conducts training programmes twice a year to build up this force of capable teachers and administrators. For those whose needs are not easily met within the conventional school structure, the MDA founded ANANYA, a 25-student school dedicated to teaching dyslexic students. Dyslexia is so widespread that the MDA is considering moving to larger facilities to accommodate a growing demand for its services.

Maharashtra Dyslexia Association

The Maharashtra Dyslexia Association (MDA) is a not-for-profit organisation started in 1996 by a group of parents and professionals committed to securing the rights of students with dyslexia to an appropriate education. In pursuit of this vision, MDA is extremely proactive in creating awareness about dyslexia amongst the educational community and the general public in India. MDA works with schools and Education authorities in furthering the acceptance of the special needs of children with specific learning disabilities (SLD) and enabling them to reach their full potential.

The vision and hard work of the founding members has resulted in securing accommodations and concessions in examinations for persons with SLD at the school, college and higher educational levels. This work has been carried forward by our team of well-qualified, experienced and motivated psychologists, special educators and other professionals who have set high quality benchmarks in testing and remedial services for children and young adults with dyslexia and other SLD in the region. Today, MDA is the preferred agency for assessments for several national and international institutions and examination boards.

MDA has three centres in and around Mumbai, India.
