Description of Organization

The Dyslexia Association of Singapore Limited (DAS) is a vibrant social service agency that provides a wide array of services for people with dyslexia not only in Singapore, but in the region. DAS Educational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Specialist Psychologists provide support for over 3,500 pre-schools, primary and secondary school students in 12 centres all over Singapore. Over 50% of our students are from lower-income families that require financial assistance to access the specialist intervention that they need and deserve. There is a need for DAS to raise over .3 million each year to ensure that children doubly disadvantaged by dyslexia and family finances can continue to access our
programmes.

Our Mission
Helping People with Dyslexia and Other Specific Learning Differences Achieve

Our Goal
To build a world class organisation dedicated to helping dyslexic people and those with specific learning differences in Singapore.

 

Intended use of funds through the YFC 2023 programme

The funds raised will go towards the bursary for children with dyslexia from low-income families to access DAS’ programmes and services.

 

Engaging and involving the YFC participants

We may engage them by conducting an awareness talk for them. The talks are focused to inspire our audience with a deeper understanding of dyslexia, subsequently empowering them with the ability to identify dyslexic students and tips on how we can help our students with their daily academic demand as well as their self-esteem. With up-to-date information, visuals and hands-on activities, our Awareness Talks aim to ensure that audiences leave with a better appreciation of dyslexia.
