Discover how 17-year-old Indy is reshaping education in Thailand through CareConnect, using online resources and campaigns to empower students with learning difficulties.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The young generation today is showing that age does not limit their ability to make an impact. Around the world young changemakers are stepping up with empathy, creativity and determination to solve real problems in their communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One inspiring example is Adia \u201cIndy\u201d Pudtalsri, a Thai youth innovator who is transforming the way education supports students with learning disabilities. We explore her journey in creating CareConnect and how her passion for inclusive education is reshaping learning opportunities for students with diverse needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Observation to Action <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indy, a 17-year-old secondary school student based in Bangkok, noticed that many schools around her relied on a rigid, uniform approach to teaching from an early age. Lessons were delivered through a single standardised curriculum, assuming that all students learn in the same way and overlooking individual learning differences. This widely used method often restricts student engagement and discourages curiosity and motivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through her research she discovered that learning disabilities are far more common than many people realise, affecting roughly one in seven individuals worldwide. In Thailand alone an estimated 140,000 children have learning disabilities, with nearly 38 per cent not attending school, underscoring a significant gap in access to inclusive education. At the same time deeply rooted misconceptions and negative attitudes towards people with learning disabilities continue to persist, shaped by long-standing social beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response Indy launched CareConnect in 2023, a platform dedicated to supporting students with learning challenges and promoting a more inclusive and adaptable education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
