DAS Education Therapy

The Education Programmes Division(EPD) provides education therapy to our students who are primarily diagnosed with dyslexia and/or other related specific learning differences. It is made up of a group of qualified and experienced Educational Therapists (EdTs) who render a special remedial programme for dyslexic children. Our Educational Therapists are trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach and also undergo intensive academic tutorship and professional mentorship with industry experts so that they are equipped with the right skills and strategies to aid dyslexics.

Our classes are built to enhance the dyslexic's grasp on the English language in the form of phonological awareness, writing strategies and comprehension skills, oracy and raising general self esteem in the form of multisensory literacy activities. Children attending our learning programme are mainly from the various mainstream schools. There are also a small number of students from private and international schools who are on our learning programme. Each child spends about 3 years on our programme on an average.

EPD Philosophy

• Every dyslexic child can be helped and is capable of learning if he is taught according to the way he learns.
• A dyslexic child learns best by engaging all his senses through an effective specialist multisensory teaching.
• Every lesson for a dyslexic child is designed for success and is student-centered.
