What Our People’s Say About Dyslexia Organization Kenya
Dyslexia Kenya conducted extensive training to assist us teachers
I am a teacher from the Western part of Kenya where many teachers have difficulties in identifying and managing dyslexia in our students. Dyslexia Kenya came in and conducted extensive training and follow-up, much to the advantage of our students

Even though Dyslexia affected my reading, i was in a school that catered for my disability
I am student with dyslexia, and I finished my primary school education at Rare Gem Talent school. Dyslexia affected my reading at first but I was able to overcome it and pass my exams. I am thankful for all the help I got.
