What We Do
Dr. Anjali Morris Education and Health Foundation (AMF) offers assessment and intervention to students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and trains teachers to work with these students in English and Marathi. Since our inception in 2008, we have worked with more than 8,000 students, trained more than 54,000 teachers, and conducted over 400 community awareness sessions for over 29,000 individuals.
Our mission is to help students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
We do this by:
- providing students, in individual and group settings, with the skills to succeed academically
- educating and supporting their parents
- training teachers to identify at-risk students and to provide interventions
- supporting schools’ efforts to replicate our program
- increasing community awareness about SLDs
AMF is the first accredited Global Partner in India of the International Dyslexia Association.
International Dyslexia Association Global Partner
The international Dyslexia Association is the first organisation which dedicated itself to the study and treatment of Dyslexia. The organisation is close to 100 years old. It has evolved with time and has made significant contributions. IDA in its current form was established in 1997.
One of the things IDA did was to certify American universities who taught their teachers to use structured literacy programs at a classroom level.
For students with diagnosed learning disability, evidence-based methodology is used to help them overcome the disability. IDA has several Global partners. Global partners get access to all the new research and papers which are published on the subject. Besides this they conduct conferences which help special educators and classroom teachers stay abreast with the latest research in the field.
An accreditation by IDA confirms that the processes being used to help students with Dyslexia are appropriate.
