Jeranjie Kamfose is a Malawian neurodiversity advocate and founder of the Able Foundation – Dyslexia Malawi.
Through campaigns and conferences, she works with schools and educators to raise awareness about dyslexia and improve classroom support.
She also plays an active role in community initiatives, including the International Women’s Association of Malawi and support for orphanages in Lilongwe.
How can all classrooms equally make space for the spectrum of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural differences of the children in them?
Kamfose says: “Human brains cover a wide range of cognitive, behavioural and emotional differences. When these differences are ignored in the classroom, children with neurodiversity are left out, stigmatised, and held back. Their self-esteem and their academic progress suffer.”
