Assessment Fees

Example of a Bursary Recipient

John is a 14-year-old student who was referred to DAS due to ongoing challenges in reading comprehension, spelling, and writing. While his parents and teachers observed no other significant concerns, they wanted to better understand the root of his learning difficulties. A diagnostic assessment for dyslexia was recommended, with a fee of $1,600*.

Given their financial circumstances, John’s family applied for a DAS bursary. Based on their household income, they were awarded a 50% subsidy. With the bursary support, they paid only $800* for the assessment, enabling John to take an important first step in his learning journey.

*Fees shown are for illustrative purposes only.

Appointments are typically scheduled within 4 to 8 weeks*^ once all required documents are submitted and reviewed. Timelines may vary depending on the completeness of the application, scheduling availability, and the nature of the assessment required.

*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 Apr 2026.

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 $72.60.

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%.

Upcoming Revision to DAS Assessment Fees (Effective 1 July 2025)

The Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS) will be revising the fees for its assessment services—programmes that are not funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE)—with effect from 1 July 2025.

Assessment applications submitted on or before 30 June 2025, and completed by 31 December 2025, will continue to be charged at current rates. Assessments submitted from 1 July 2025 onwards will be subject to the new revised fees.

Examples:

DAS remains committed to keeping our services as affordable as possible. However, this adjustment is necessary to cope with rising operational costs. Currently, our assessment services are provided below actual cost, and as they are not subsidised by MOE, DAS has been absorbing the shortfall.

To ensure the long-term sustainability of these services and continue supporting the needs of our community, a fee revision is now required.

Financial Assistance Available

We understand that affordability is a concern for many families. Singaporean families in need may apply for bursaries ranging from 33% to 100% to help offset the cost of assessments. In the last financial year alone, DAS raised over $2.9 million in donations to provide bursaries for students requiring non-MOE-funded services and programmes.
