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.

Students

We serve children with SLDs, of which some have an ADHD diagnosis, in English and in Marathi, at our Resource Centre, our Satellite Centres, and at several partner schools in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad

Teachers

We offer professional development programs so teachers can increase their understanding of SLDs and learn strategies to help their students.

Parents

Experienced Resource Teachers demonstrate specific skills and strategies parents can use to employ the child’s identified strengths and to compensate for weaknesses.

Schools

We help schools to set up Resource Centres, train teachers to screen children for learning disabilities and conduct evidence-based assessments to deliver outcomes-based interventions.

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.
