I am an educational specialist and researcher specializing in learning disabilities, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. In 1986 and 1987, I obtained a BA Honors in Psychology and a BD degree from the University of Pretoria (UP), setting the stage for my 30+ year career in practical research. I am the mind behind the conceptualization of the Edublox tools and learning methods.Early in my professional journey, I played a pivotal role in training over 3,000 teachers and tutors, equipping them with the foundational knowledge and practical techniques to foster cognitive development among children struggling with reading and writing.In 2007, I established the first Edublox reading and learning clinic, a milestone that has since expanded to include 30+ clinics across Southern Africa. The Edublox tools I contributed to developing are now utilized online by students worldwide, spanning regions like the United States of America, Europe, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.I maintain an active blog focused on learning disabilities. I have authored numerous articles, conducted workshops, and delivered presentations in countries such as Spain, Singapore, Dubai, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and my home country, South Africa.My passion lies in ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their educational potential. I firmly believe that dyslexia and other learning disabilities can be overcome through proper cognitive development and training. One of my greatest sources of pride is witnessing the transformation of children with severe learning difficulties into top performers after just a year or two at Edublox. I make it a point to collect the success stories of Edublox students, whose self-esteem soars as their academic achievements improve, often by as much as 30%.
