LEARNING DISABILITIES
Children with learning disabilities are the unrecognized and neglected group of marginalized people in Nigeria. Over 32 million Nigerians currently live with learning disabilities while the official data for children with learning disabilities is non-existent. The psychological and long term effects of children with undiagnosed and unsupported learning disabilities are staggering. Yet 35% of teachers who attend trainings on dyslexia have never heard of the word and 65% do not know how to describe it according to the Dyslexia Foundation Nigeria.
