Review Description

We are a non-profit organization situated in North Bali providing classroom support to dyslexic children and teacher-training programs which embody the latest research to ensure that literacy is taught effectively in the classrooms of Bali.

The population of Bali, Indonesia is over 4.2 million. Catering for a growing population there are hundreds of underfunded schools with little or no material to practice inclusive education.

Dyslexia in Bali is misunderstood for laziness leading children to feel frustrated and discouraged.

Bali Dyslexia Foundation is proud to be Bali’s first free service offering teacher training, student assessment, ongoing support, and student scholarships specifically for students with dyslexia.

                      Student Intervention

Opportunities for students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia to progress and develop their knowledge at the same pace as their peers.
Students to access the same opportunities, such as employment and moving onto tertiary or further education.
Bali Dyslexia Foundation will enable children with dyslexia to become all that they can be without prejudice or shame.
Providing tailored resources to meet the needs of the learners.
Effective interventions ‘personalize learning’ by matching provision to meet children’s individual needs and quicken the pace of learning for those with literacy difficulties, thus narrowing the attainment gap with their typically developing peers.

Teacher Intervention

Our teacher training courses provide teachers, TA's and other education staff with the knowledge and skills to support their dyslexic students. Onsite training and tailored one to one programs are offered to all teachers who are on the program.
We are a non-profit organization that offers teacher-training programs which embody the latest scientific research to ensure that literacy is taught effectively around the world.
