Path to the Truth

But the reality is...

Supportive institutions and research teams are scarce and dispersed throughout the country, with a majority concentrated in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Compounding these challenges, Chinese students face the demands of a rigorous and arduous education system renowned as one of the most demanding worldwide.

Consequently, these factors present substantial barriers for parents in their quest for knowledge acquisition, combating prevailing stereotypes, and seeking necessary assistance. As a result, they are unable to achieve a comprehensive understanding of dyslexia, accept their child's unique needs, and provide them with the support they require.

Current practise

• In addition to the prevalent lack of awareness, our investigation has revealed several issues pertaining to the existing support systems:
• Research labs and training centers operate in isolation, impeding their ability to have a substantial impact and hinder their potential for growth.
• Hospitals primarily offer diagnostic services without providing any interventions, thus leaving a critical gap in comprehensive support.
• Online communities, while serving as platforms for interaction, suffer from superficial communication among parents, primarily due to the diverse educational requirements in different cities. Consequently, these limitations weaken the strength of connections forged within these communities.

Our Solution

The proposed service takes the form of a locally-based hybrid community, featuring an accessible online knowledge-sharing platform implemented as a mini-program within WeChat. Complementing this digital presence, offline events encompassing talks, meetings, training sessions, therapy sessions, and various other activities will be organized at the local level.

Our envisioned approach encompasses several key elements:

1. We seek to establish a secure space for parents to openly share their experiences and emotions, fostering a shift from a linear knowledge flow to a more circular exchange.
2. We plan to integrate local resources, such as experts and therapists, who will share their specialized expertise and offer tailored support to both parents and children.
3. Our objective is to amplify the impact of the entire dyslexic population, gradually ensuring that their voices are heard, ultimately leading to cultural and policy-level changes.

Virtuous Circle

As parents engage in the community, gaining understanding and acceptance of dyslexia while discovering ways to support their children, they will evolve into leaders within the community. This virtuous circle ensures the sustainability of our community, creating a ripple effect that amplifies our impact.

Validation

During our discussions with one of our partners, Mrs. Liu, a psychologist specializing in children's education, she expressed her belief that by emphasizing story sharing, which highlights the remarkable achievements of these children, is particularly effective in boosting parents' confidence. Mrs. Liu personally embraces the opportunity to contribute to the implementation of this project, as she finds genuine stories from real individuals to be a distinctive and compelling aspect.

Apart from monetisation...

Given the absence of a top-down approach (policy support), we recognise the importance of taking the initiative to unite parents and gather the necessary knowledge to provide them with prompt assistance.

The visible impact of our operations will become evident in the initial years. As we accumulate experience, knowledge, and credibility, we envision collaborating with educational institutions on a larger scale to provide comprehensive support to teachers and students. By doing so, we aim to influence a broader range of children who may benefit from our services.

Looking ahead, we aspire to utilize our expanding database and the countless stories shared by real individuals as compelling evidence to drive policy changes and expedite the development of an inclusive and supportive society.
