Through Education as a Teacher in cooking classes (To be specific) for Autististic Children,it’s easy to identify a child’s potential and passion that achilds posses and help him/her in growing it. Though kids do vary in what they are passionate about,I believe its through the learning process that a Teacher will be able to identify their ability.

Betty Mukami
Teacher

Professional title: B.Ed (Special Needs Education)
Branch: Learning difficulties with over 3 years working with learners with learning differences.
Time to Demystify Dyslexia.
I read books because I love them, not because I think i should read them, but because I live for books. Sometimes the idea of reading isn’t just appealing to some students. For any teacher, you would want to instill the same love for reading in your students. This aim can certainly be a challenge especially to learners with a reading difficulty. Convincing your students to pick up a book that they will be able to relate to, can be much easier to get them interested in reading. This helps them develop their decoding and fluency skills. Inviting your students to listen to an audio book, playing short passages , they can be able to visualise scenes, acquire vocabularies, comprehension strategies,enjoying stories or accruing information. All in all with concerted efforts, meticulous preparations and team spirit, learners with a learning challenge can manage to sail through the strong winds unscathed, albeit with a host of success stories to write home about.
