The Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS) works closely with our government and has over 130 professional staff who provide an array of services for dyslexics not only in Singapore but in our region. DAS specialist psychologists conduct assessment and diagnosis from preschool to adults clients. DAS Educational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists provide support for over 1540 preschool, primary and secondary school students in 14 venues all over Singapore. The DAS Academy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DAS, delivers professional training workshops and courses including a Masters in Specific Learning Differences. The DAS Academy also conducts regular training courses overseas in Brunei and Hong Kong. Increasingly, the DAS will provide support for dyslexics who also suffer from other Specific Learning Differences such as ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and Aspergers Syndrome.
