This online Foundation Course offers a modular learning experience across six key areas of Specific Learning Disorders. The course uses innovative ‘Learning Circles’—a digital, collaborative platform for peer learning and expert guidance.
Participants engage in live, interactive (synchronous) sessions and self-paced (asynchronous) activities, including reading materials, discussions, case studies, and quizzes. The course emphasizes real-time problem-solving with expert facilitators guiding participants through teaching challenges.
To qualify for the Dyslexia Teaching/Therapy Programme, participants must successfully complete all six modules of the Foundation Course:
Upon completion of the modules and assignments, participants will receive a participation certificate. To earn the Certificate of Successful Completion, participants must pass the final examination. This certificate, along with a Bachelor’s degree, qualifies candidates for the Dyslexia Teaching Programme.
In collaboration with Ms. Sandra Dillon, this certification requires 200 hours of hands-on teaching. Training is conducted online, with 6 days of in-person training at MDA’s Dadar East Centre. Upon completion, candidates can appear for the Certified Academic Language Practitioner (CALP) exam and certification as a Structured Literacy/Dyslexia Interventionist (SLDI) by CERI and IDA.
This 3-module programme equips teachers with multisensory techniques using the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) method to improve math learning for Pre-Primary to Grade 7 students. Participants will learn to identify key stages of math learning, develop teaching materials, and apply hands-on, visual, and abstract methods to enhance understanding and math fluency.
The training covers:
Learning Circles – Online Topics include Dyslexia Screening and Identification, Psycho-Educational Reports, Smart Learning, Multisensory Intervention, and Executive Functions.
Early identification and intervention are crucial for the successful integration of students with learning differences, leading to improved academic performance, emotional well-being, and career prospects. MDA provides support services to schools for better integration of students with Dyslexia and other learning differences.

This programme focuses on developing a multisensory English curriculum for ESL learners from Pre-Primary onwards. Designed by Masarrat Khan and Rameeza Khan, it equips teachers to apply evidence-based, multisensory instruction in literacy. Classroom observations and progress monitoring of students’ phonological processing, reading, and spelling skills are integral to the programme, currently implemented in three schools.
This 2-year training for pre-primary and primary teachers includes classroom observations and progress monitoring. Workshops cover:
MDA assesses students (minimum of five) at risk for Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) within schools.
MDA provides multisensory, evidence-based instruction for diagnosed SLD students three times a week for one hour each session.
MDA offers a specially designed Study Skills programme for all students—neurotypical and neurodiverse.
MDA assists schools in establishing resource rooms to support students with learning differences, particularly those with dyslexia.
