They further plan to give training in remedial work to the teachers and stress on having such centres in all schools given the fact that 10 percent of the population has these learning difficulties. "More than hyping the problem, awareness needs to be created. There are hardly any centres and there's a dearth of trained professionals. There is a system, methodology and more importantly sensitive teachers. For instance a child who has been coming for the last five years has had a lot of processing difficulties in school including writing and bad comprehension. She couldn't read two letter words put together. After observing and assessing her for the last five years she is now able to read one year lower than her grade and very confident. The greatest reward of this lies in seeing the progress in the children," smiles Kothari.

The centre is open from 4 to 8 pm from Monday to Friday at 515, A9 Eden Garden, Vimanagar.
