Joy's Success Stories

"I am very much impressed with your work so far. My boy's confidence with learning in general has improved. He used to be someone who loves learning but gets easily disturbed when he doesn't get to understand what he is doing but I can see he's gotten over this challenge. The tools given him we're appreciative of them as he tends to use them as often as he could during this holiday. We're grateful."

"Dyslexia Ghana provided the needed support and a friendly environment for my son at a time when we needed to understand why he was not settling in his new school. Grandma Joy and staff went beyond and above to provide the needed intervention that made the school a second home for my son during our time there. Using creative methods that aligned with his style of learning, extra curricular activities, excursions and typical "Grandma" support, we discovered new ways to engage his creative skills and motivate him to go back and excel in school. Grateful to God that he is now back in school and doing so well."

"I'm blessed to be part of this great family. Infact, my child's confidence level has improved massively, he can now do some additions on his own and can also mention some words, I have also seen much improvement in his academics. God richly bless you for your support."

"I have a 9 years old dyslexic son, he was diagnosed dyslexic at age 8. Before his diagnosis and assessment we have changed 5 schools and this was because at most of the schools he attended, his class teachers complain about his inability to read and write well. This is a child who apart from reading and writing is very brilliant and contribes alot in class verbally. At a point even we as parents though he was being lazy because he is very brilliant with his words and his best subjects in class is Science, Mathematics , ICT and History. It was very frustrating and some of his teachers said alot of discouraging words to him, they even ignored him during exams and class work due to his inability to read. But thankfully we went to a professional and he was diagnosed dyslexic. Afterwards we got in touch with DYSLEXIA GHANA and for the past months things have been much better. Due to their early intervention my son is able to read and picking up on his writing. DYSLEXIA GHANA also gave us a better understanding of how to handle him and a better understanding of what he's going through being dyslexic. Life as been much easier for him and we as parents. He's now always in good spirits. We're very proud of him. As for issues with his current conditions at school, I will talk about that on another day. I will say a big thank you to all the amazing staff at DYSLEXIA GHANA for the wonderful job, pls keep it up."

"Ok, J was with your outfit for about 4 months, when he came back we saw a lot of improvement in him, there were things he did not know before coming to you example how to tell time correctly, you thought him that he also seems improved a lot with in using a computer. Thanks to your efforts."

"Thanks so much Madam Joy. A and I are most grateful to you and your team for opening your doors to him when all hope was lost. He really enjoyed his time with Dyslexia Ghana. I have seen an improvement in his reading and his attitude towards learning. Hopefully he will come back during vacations. Thanks also for his lovely gift. He is most grateful.
Be blessed.
