Hoe om Lees en Leer Hindernisse te verstaan en te Ondersteun/How to Understand and Support Reading Difficulties

** ONLINE TICKETS** Will be emailed on 21 July 2025 (Can be watched according to your own schedule) - Link will be valid for 7 days.

Dit is geensins nodig om te sukkel met lees, spelling skryf of enige neurodiverse diagnose! Die doel van hierdie praatjie is om vir ouers die regte inligting te gee om hulle kinders te kan ondersteun sonder om elke dag moedeloos te voel. Onderwysers sal ook baat by die kennis en praktiese righlyne oor hoe om hierdie kinders meet leer hindernisse te identifiseer en te ondersteun.

You do not have to struggle with reading, spelling, writing, or any neurodivergent diagnosis! This empowering event is designed to equip parents, caregivers, and educators with the knowledge and practical tools they need to support children with learning and reading differences and other neurodivergent profiles.

Die sessie is gevul met inspirasie, ondersteuning en om volwassenes wat met kinders werk te bemagtig met die nodige insigte en vaardighede. Sukses stories gaan ook gedeel word as inspirasie en om te weet dat jy nie alleen sukkel nie. Dit is baie belangrik om die neurodiverse breintjie te verstaan sodat dit met die regte metodes geondersteun kan word. Daar is soveel sterkpunte wanneer ons met leerhindernisse werk, maar gewoonlik is die fokus slegs op alles wat hierdie kinders nie kan doen nie - ons moet hierdie narratief VERANDER - want met die nodige hulp kan hierdie kinders sukses ervaar.

Join us for a day of inspiration, learning, and connection, where expert insights and real-life success stories will be shared. You’ll walk away empowered and equipped to better understand your child’s unique learning style, shift the focus from challenges to discovering their strengths and gifts, and become the best support system your child needs to thrive.

Saam kan ons 'n groot verskil maak in die lewe van hierdie families - kom ons verander die daaglikse gesukkel na 'n suksesverhaal.

Together, let’s change the narrative—from struggle to strength, from confusion to clarity.

We would love to inspire all parents and teachers by empowering them with knowledge and skills, but we also have A BIGGER PURPOSE .... Supporting Gerhard’s Back a Buddy campaign – Helping Him Hear, Helping Him Thrive!

We are supporting Gerhard, a bright and determined 10-year-old from Nelspruit whose school journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs. Initially diagnosed with ADD and facing early learning difficulties, Gerhard’s greatest obstacle was discovered during a routine check-up: 80% hearing loss in his right ear. Despite this, he has achieved academic success and shown remarkable resilience. After years of being misunderstood, he was finally diagnosed with dyslexia and is now thriving in Grade 4 with the right support.

Gerhard’s next step is a life-changing BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) implant, planned for late 2025. This will give him clearer access to sound—essential for learning, social interaction, and simply being a child.

This event will be held in aid of Gerhard’s Back a Buddy campaign, raising funds to help him receive the care and support he needs. Every contribution will bring Gerhard closer to hearing the world clearly and enjoying the simple joys of childhood—without barriers.

Donate today. Share his story. Be part of Gerhard’s journey to a brighter, more empowered future! LINK:
