A Silent Crisis in India's Mainstream Education System
Across India, many children with learning differences are overlooked or misunderstood — often labelled as "slow" or "careless." Most schools do not yet have access to early screening, trained specialists, or inclusive teaching practices, leaving students without the support they need to thrive.
Up to 90% of learning differences go unidentified. That is an estimated 35 million children struggling silently — without diagnosis, without support, and without understanding.

Bridging the Gap

Neurowise Academy Foundation works to bridge the gap between the scale of need and the support available. By training teachers, screening students early, and delivering direct intervention, we are building a model that can grow — school by school, district by district, across India.
Every child we reach represents a life changed. Every teacher we train multiplies that impact across their entire classroom for years to come.
