- The Dr. Anjali Morris Education & Health Foundation (AMF) was founded by Dr. Anjali Morris & Late Mr. Umakant Joshi in 2008 to enable academic success in students with Learning Disabilities/Disorders by teaching them strategies and skills in individual & group settings. A Learning Disability/Disorder (LD) is a neurobiological disorder wherein a normal or higher intelligence brain is wired differently. It thus works and learns differently. These children may have difficulty in reading (Dyslexia), writing (Dysgraphia), math (Dyscalculia) and comprehension.
- The Foundation reaches out to students directly through its Bridging Over Learning Disabilities (BOLD) Program wherein students are assessed for LD and offered evidence-based interventions on an individual level, or in small groups, using multisensory techniques and standard treatment protocols.
- AMF also trains mainstream teachers under its Teachers’ Training Program, conducts workshops for teachers and parents besides creating awareness in the community.
- In its Technically Assisted Projects, AMF helps schools set up their own resource centres for children with LD providing structured collaboration for 3 yrs.
- AMF has launched a path breaking research project for developing Curriculum Measures in Marathi (a local language) to assess children at risk of LD.
