    Mission

    The Bali Dyslexia Foundation (BDF) aims to support neurodivergent children through inclusive and accessible education. It focuses on early dyslexia screening, teacher training, community outreach, and literacy programs to help underprivileged students across Indonesia. BDF empowers children with learning differences to build confidence, recognize their strengths, and reach their full potential regardless of background or ability.

    Vision

    We envision an Indonesia—and a world—where every child learns in the way they were born to learn. A future where neurodiversity is not just accepted, but celebrated.
    Through innovative partnerships, cross-cultural collaboration, and sustainable education models, we aim to become a national leader in inclusive education—screening thousands, training tens of thousands, and changing the lives of millions.
    At BDF, we believe literacy is a right, not a privilege, and we will continue working until no child is left behind.

    Target

    The Bali Dyslexia Foundation targets systemic change in inclusive education across Indonesia. To date, we have delivered teacher training programs in over 225 local government schools, empowering 1,987 teachers with practical tools to support neurodivergent learners. As a direct result, our reach now extends to over 8,560 Balinese children, many of whom are receiving literacy support tailored to their learning needs for the first time. Our goal: no child left behind in the classroom.

  • Intervention

    At BDF, our intervention programs provide targeted, multisensory literacy support for local children identified as dyslexic or struggling readers. Using evidence-based methods, our trained educators deliver small-group sessions that focus on phonics, decoding, comprehension, and confidence-building. These interventions are tailored to each child's unique learning profile, offering a second chance at literacy success. Our approach not only improves reading scores but also transforms how children see themselves—as capable, intelligent, and full of potential.
