For the fifth consecutive year, the Kuwait Association for Learning Differences (KALD) organized its annual awareness campaign for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), under the slogan “You Are Not Alone,” with an awareness event at The Avenues Mall, running until the 31st of this month, coinciding with the global month of awareness for this disorder.
In this context, Amaal Al-Sayer, founder and president of KALD, announced the launch of the sixth edition of the KALD Award for the Outstanding Teacher for the 2026–2027 academic year, in recognition of outstanding teachers who contribute to empowering students, developing educational practices, and implementing teaching methods that respect individual differences and support learners’ needs. Al-Sayer emphasized, during her attendance at the opening of the ADHD awareness booth at The Avenues Mall, the association’s commitment to raising awareness and educating the community on all aspects of ADHD. She noted that KALD promotes awareness through various events and activities, in collaboration with different government and private entities, and organizes an annual awareness booth every October.
Al-Sayer added, “We believe that our children do not need those who judge them, but rather those who understand, support, and believe in their capabilities.” She pointed out that the association collaborates with the Ministry of Education, which facilitates the work of KALD teams visiting schools, as well as with the Ministry of Social Affairs.
