Since
1992
A not-for-profit organisation started in 1992,which has been providing remedial help and support to children with learning disabilities like dyslexia, Read more and their parents as well as spreading awareness to the community at large, helping schools to set up Resource Rooms and conduct teacher training programmes. Around 40,000 children have benefitted from various activities of MDA in the past 21 years. MDA has designed and developed a range of awareness and remedial training programs for helping dyslexic children and is ready to share all its knowledge and expertise in the areas of identification, assessment, remediation techniques, and teacher training to overcome this learning difficulty. Soon, our one week training programme will be available online in digitised format. We also offer after-school remediation help at our premises. MDA also runs a full time remediation centre called ANANYA for children who need a pull out programme. MDA has also devised a remediation programme in Tamil. Our aim is to create a dyslexia sensitive society.
