Learning Differently
Services Provided
WE’VE EXPANDED ACCESS TO ALL DAS PROGRAMMES!
DAS is excited to announce that we have redefined “access” to all our programmes.
A diagnosis of a specific learning difference is no longer a prerequisite. We have now opened our doors to students who learn differently whether they have a formal diagnosis of a learning difference or not. To access our programmes all students will undergo profiling tests, a simple step to ensure they are placed in a class that suits their learning needs best. We’re dedicated to providing tailored support to every child, empowering them to reach their full potential.
And we are here to help you through this process, contact us now about how we can help your child.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED
DAS is committed to ensuring that financial assistance is available to students who learn differently, including those without a formal diagnosis. Our bursary programme helps families access the support their children need to thrive in their educational journey. Financial assistance is available for ALL DAS Programmes.
ACCESS TO DAS PROGRAMMES
The Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS) is committed to providing all students with the opportunity to access quality education and tailored support, regardless of the learning challenges they may face. By offering specialist services for students who find learning difficult, DAS aims to create an inclusive educational environment that empowers each student to reach their full potential.
Students who learn differently are welcome to benefit from the wide range of DAS programmes and services, including our flagship Main Literacy Programme (MLP). All of our programmes are carefully designed to address individual learning needs, build foundational literacy skills, boost confidence, and nurture a lifelong love for learning.
The DAS Main Literacy Programme (MLP) is part-funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and is the only programme eligible for an MOE grant. To qualify for subsidised MLP fees through MOE funding, students must meet the following criteria:
- The student has a formal diagnosis of dyslexia, and
- The student is a Singapore Citizen attending an MOE Mainstream School*, or
- The student is a Singapore PR or Foreigner with at least one Singaporean parent, attending an MOE Mainstream School.
(*Click here for a list of MOE Mainstream Schools.)
For students who do not meet these criteria, standard fees will apply for the MLP. However, DAS is dedicated to supporting students in need and offers additional funding options for families requiring financial assistance. Please reach out to us to discuss how we may be able to help.
We encourage parents to contact DAS directly to explore the full range of programmes and services available for students who learn differently, and to discuss the options that best meet their child’s unique needs.
Let us work together to support your child on their educational journey.
