At Learning Differently Limited, we believe that every learner deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their unique learning differences. Founded in 2021, our mission is to address the critical gaps in awareness, assessment, and interventions for individuals with specific learning disabilities (SLDs), ADHD, and autism, particularly in the African context.



The Challenge

Globally, it is estimated that approximately 10-15% of the population lives with a specific learning disability. In Africa, however, low levels of awareness mean that many individuals go undiagnosed and unsupported. Assessments and interventions, when available, are often prohibitively expensive and inaccessible to the majority of families, further marginalizing learners who could otherwise achieve their full potential with the right support.



Our Approach

Learning Differently Limited was founded to change this narrative. We are pioneering an approach called AAI (Awareness, Assessment, and Interventions):

  1. Raising Awareness: We provide short, practical training for teachers, parents, and caregivers, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to identify and support neurodivergent learners effectively.
  2. Facilitating Assessment: We bridge the gap between learners and qualified assessors, ensuring timely and accurate diagnoses that are essential for effective interventions.
  3. Delivering Interventions: Our innovative tools and services are designed to be affordable, accessible, and culturally relevant, addressing the unique challenges of African learners and their communities.

What is spot diagnosis, and how does it work?

Spot diagnosis is a tool we provide to help educators and caregivers identify early signs of SLDs and ADHD. It is a simple, preliminary screening tool that suggests when further professional evaluation may be necessary.

How do I know if my child has a learning disability?

If you notice your child struggling with tasks such as reading, writing, or math, or if they exhibit unusual behavior, they may have an SLD or ADHD for more than 6 months. Our spot diagnosis tools can help you identify potential issues, but we recommend seeking a professional assessment for a definitive diagnosis.

Schools can participate in our training programs in groups through our platform. You can also invite us for workshops or integrate our resources into their curricula to better support students with learning disabilities.

How can I tell if my child’s struggles in school are due to a learning disability or something else?

Learning disabilities often manifest as consistent difficulties in specific areas like reading, writing, or math, despite normal intelligence. Behavioral signs may include frustration, avoiding schoolwork, or trouble focusing. While our spot diagnosis tools can help identify potential issues, we recommend seeking a comprehensive evaluation from a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.

What should I do if my child is diagnosed with a learning disability?

If your child is diagnosed with a learning disability, it's important to create a supportive environment both at home and in school. Work with their teachers to develop an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and consider enrolling in our programs for additional strategies and resources to support your child's learning. Our courses equip teachers with the knowledge and skills that enable them to support interventions

Are your programs suitable for children with more severe disabilities?

While our primary focus is on Specific Learning Disabilities and ADHD, many of our strategies and tools can be beneficial for children with a wide range of learning needs. However, for severe disabilities, we recommend working closely with specialists who can tailor interventions to your child’s specific requirements.

Can your training programs help parents who are homeschooling children with learning disabilities?

Yes, our training programs are designed to support both traditional and homeschool environments. We provide parents with the tools and strategies they need to effectively teach and support their children with learning disabilities at home. We are also curating inclusive K-12 content for a range of curriculums that can help with home schooling.

How can I advocate for my child’s needs at school?

Advocating for your child involves understanding their rights, working closely with educators, and ensuring that your child’s learning needs are met. Our programs offer the skills needed for inclusive education. You can ask the teachers to consider taking our courses

How do I know if the interventions are working?

Progress can be monitored through your child’s academic performance, their confidence in learning, and regular feedback from their teachers. If you don’t see improvement, it may be necessary to reassess the interventions or seek additional support. Our tools and programs are designed to help track and measure your child’s progress.

Do you offer personalized support for parents navigating these challenges?

Yes, we offer personalized support through our programs and resources. We also provide access to a network of specialists and educators who can offer guidance tailored to your child’s unique needs.
