Africa Dyslexia Organisation

The African Dyslexia Organization is a non-profit that focuses its efforts on providing help for dyslexic people by raising awareness, providing educational tools, framework and support. The ADO does not support or endorse any one method or program but supports an evidence based approach that utilises a direct, explicit, systematic, structured and multi-sensory teaching approach for individuals with dyslexia or a related difference. “Dyslexia is a neurological condition caused by a different wiring of the brain. There is no cure for dyslexia and individuals with this condition must learn coping strategies. Research indicates that dyslexia has no relationship to intelligence. Individuals with dyslexia are neither more nor less intelligent than the general population. But some say the way individuals with dyslexia think can actually be an asset in achieving success.”
