Dyslexia Organization, Kenya (DOK), is a non-profit NGO established and registered under the NGO Board of Kenya in 2011. Our programme mission is to create public awareness and intervention strategies for dyslexia, a learning condition that affects many school-going children in our country. Quite often the children are referred to as 'slow learners’ or weak performers. We believe that these are biased references of discouragement in a very competitive environment. These children are the opposite; as has been proved, they are indeed gifted and talented.
