“I have a pupil in my class who had challenges in copying numbers – especially fractions – from the blackboard to his book. However, because of the training on dyslexia & dyscalculia with Backup I was able to identify the problem. So, I decided to meet him privately after class to learn more, and now I have to consider him too while teaching. I find it easy to do it, as it is during my normal lessons. Had it not been for the workshops we do with Backup, I would have probably chosen to ignore him and focus on the other 89 pupils. I learnt to be patient and appreciate the uniqueness of each pupil.”
