Assessment Fees

John is a 14-year-old student. His parents referred him to the DAS as they were concerned with his difficulties in reading and spelling. They and his teachers did not report any other difficulties. An assessment for dyslexia, which costs $1,500*, is proposed. John’s family applied to DAS for a bursary and based on their family income, was awarded a 50% bursary. They therefore paid only $750* for the
assessment.

Our current average wait time is approximately 12 to 16 weeks.

* The average waiting time will vary from period to period as the DAS receives referrals from our clients on a daily basis. This applies where no additional information/documents are required, barring the discovery of additional pertinent information during the course of the assessment.
^ Waiting time updated as of 13 Jan 2025.

One password-protected soft copy psychological report will be provided for each assessment.

Within one month from the original report date, clients can request one additional soft copy and up to two hard copy reports at no charge. Otherwise, the provision of additional reports will be chargeable at prevailing rates starting from $64.80.

Request for a supporting letter may be made for valid psychological reports (within 3 years from the last assessment date).

The first copy (softcopy only) will be free and subsequent request(s) will be chargeable at the prevailing rates.

All fees are inclusive of the prevailing GST of 8%.

DAS will be revising the fees for our assessment services from 1 July 2024. Whilst DAS strives to keep our
fees affordable for our parents, this adjustment is necessary for DAS to reduce the financial deficit
caused by increasing operational costs as we strive to maintain quality programmes and services. DAS
will unfortunately remain in significant financial deficit despite the above.

Although DAS assessment service is not funded by any government agency, DAS provides full or partial
waiver of fees for students from less resourced families through donations from generous donors. For
Singaporean families who need financial assistance, bursaries ranging from 33% to 100% will continue to
be available. Each year, DAS has to raise around over $2.9 million in donations to provide bursaries for
needy students attending non-government funded programmes and services.

Kindly note that complete assessment applications submitted before 30 June 2024 will not be affected
by the fee revision if the assessment is completed before 31 December 2024.
