Its ADHD Awareness Month! At The Foundation, we are committed to supporting individuals with ADHD and other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) through innovative projects and partnerships. One such initiative is the Pakistan Special Education Initiative (PSEI), which we proudly founded and funded. This initiative draws on decades of experience supporting people with disabilities in the UK and aims to transform the educational landscape for children with SEND in Pakistan. PSEI addresses the urgent need for resources and support within Pakistan's education system, helping students with ADHD and other special needs access the tools they require to succeed. By empowering educators and parents, and ensuring children with SEND have the same opportunities as their peers, we’re working towards a brighter future for all. 🌟 Let’s continue raising awareness, breaking the stigma, and making education more inclusive for children everywhere! 💙 #ADHDAwareness #Neurodiversity #CareAndSupport #CareTechFoundation #PSEI #SENDSupport #InclusiveEducation

👁️🌍 On this World Sight Day, we’re celebrating the success of our partnership with RNIB in transforming eye health support across the care sector! Through the Vision Friends project, we’ve made incredible strides in ensuring that sight loss in individuals with learning disabilities is detected early and managed effectively. Thanks to the training, resources, and support provided, care staff now have the knowledge to recognise and address the eye health needs of those they care for. With 40% of individuals in care services with learning disabilities experiencing sight loss, this initiative has been vital in making a difference. 💡 The Vision Friends project, funded by the CareTech Foundation and backed by CareTech plc staff, created a supportive Vision Friends network, empowering care providers to deliver better eye health support. 🚀 #WorldSightDay #VisionFriends #CareTechFoundation #EyeHealth #SightLossSupport #InclusionMatters #RNIB #CareSector #DisabilitySupport #Accessibility 💙

🧠💡 Today marks the start of Dyslexia Awareness Month! Did you know dyslexia is the most common learning difficulty, affecting around 1 in 10 people? 🌍✨ For many with dyslexia, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) support is vital to their learning journey. 📚💬 With the right tools and tailored education plans, students can unlock their full potential. This is why the Foundation is so passionate about the Pakistan Special Education Initiative (PSEI), which we founded and fund. Pakistan Special Education Initiative (PSEI) supports 2-17-year-olds with SEND requirements in Pakistan, where many mainstream schools still lack the resources to accommodate students with mild to moderate needs. 🌟 PSEI is working to ensure children, teachers, and parents receive the tools and support needed to help SEND students grow alongside their peers. Let’s work together to ensure every child has access to the support they need to thrive. Inclusion matters! 🤝❤️ #DyslexiaAwareness #SENDSupport #InclusionMatters #UnlockPotential #Neurodiversity #LearningDifferences #SupportAndEmpower
