About Us
I-DARE was founded in the year 1999 by a group of experienced and dedicated remedial therapists.
It is an independent teaching and assessment centre which provides support for children, aged 5-16 years with specific learning difficulties.
At I-DARE, we aim to restore self-confidence and self-reliance by improving reading, writing, spelling, numeracy and memory skills, combined with a sensitive understanding, so enabling students to realize their full potential.
I-DARE is presently working under the leadership of Mehmooda Ghazi, the founding member and CEO of the Institute.
She has over thirty years teaching experience at primary and senior levels in private institutions like The City School and The Beaconhouse School System.
She is a certified Remedial Therapist and holds the Read-Hornsby Diploma, which is certified by Hornsby International Dyslexia Centre, UK.
At present she is the Academic Consultant at the Ahmed Bawany Academy where she has set up a Dyslexia Department where less privileged students with learning difficulties are provided remedial help.
She is also currently Advisor to Kaka Bawany Centre which is a vocational centre.
Ms. Ghazi is actively involved in training remedial teachers, counseling of students and parents, working on content for students, personalizing their learning plans, and spreading awareness of learning difficulties/dyslexia in schools.
