David Banes
Director of David Banes Access and Inclusion Services
Dyslexia is a condition that many do not recognise and are not aware of. Yet it can seriously damage a child’s education and limit their life opportunities as a result. It has been my pleasure to work with and support Kabir in his mission to raise awareness not only of the condition itself, but how it can be accommodated in the classroom and therefore how life chances can be improved. Kabir’s personal experience gives him remarkable insight into the impact of Dyslexia, and how schools, employers and families can best support these needs. His willingness to draw upon international experience, coupled with an understanding of the culture and needs in India, to support people through a range of simple and low cost technologies, teaching strategies and accommodations offers a great opportunity to change lives of people with Dyslexia in India. David was formerly CEO, at Mada the Qatar Assistive Technology and Accessibility Center, Doha, Qatar.

Goa Dyslexia Association
Unique Ability Consulting helps create awareness about dyslexia and helps promote advocacy about issues related to slow learning on account of dyslexia. Unique Ability Consulting does this by assembling teams of professionals including teachers and research scholars to make cutting edge thinking and practice accessible to students, teachers, parents and managements of institutions. Goa Dyslexia Association (GDA), established in March 2015 is a young organisation which has benefited greatly from the help of Unique Ability Consulting in its inception year. Unique Ability Consulting has made its teams of professionals available to GDA to help create awareness in Goa successfully. GDA and Unique Ability Consulting have pioneered awareness campaigns in Goa, about Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Assistive Technology. Kabir Bhogilal has been the driving force of UAC. He has been able to spread a wide knowledge on the issues with living with Dyslexia. He has found new technologies to help reading which are not used within our education system. We instituted a pilot program at St. Joseph Primary School in Baina, Goa testing in regular use Assistive Technology software. It is a huge success and other schools from Goa are trying to implement the same in consultation with us. I am happy that UAC is working with us to enhance the knowledge in Learning Difficulties.
Malcolm Litten
Consultant in Dyslexia & Assistive Technology
Unique Ability Consulting has been set up with a simple but very important purpose in mind: to improve the experience of dyslexic pupils in Indian schools. Kabir Bhogilal did not have a positive experience himself in his Indian schooling but learnt that things could be better. So he has decided to try and help this generation of dyslexic pupils to succeed in school. He has established Unique Ability Consulting to spread awareness about dyslexia and to help schools make effective provision for those who struggle with literacy skills. His aim is to introduce teachers and their pupils to the benefits of assistive technology by offering information and training, also showing them a positive path of Living with Dyslexia.
Dr. Steve Chinn
Professor & Author
I am proud to have been involved with Unique Ability Consulting since its conception. Its altruistic aim is to raise awareness of dyslexia across India and to provide realistic and pragmatic ideas for interventions that will improve the learning outcomes for this group of learners. At this stage its focus is on introducing Assistive Technologies to improve literacy skills by empowering schools to take control of the implementation of programmes based on AI in their classrooms. My involvement has been to explain how dyscalculia and mathematical learning difficulties impact on learners and to suggest a pedagogy that will raise their achievement levels, and those of the majority of students, in maths. UAC’s key goal is to change for the better the lives of the millions of children and adults in India who have specific learning difficulties.
