SCANNING PENS
Finding the right reading support can be challenging for those with literacy challenges such as dyslexia. The award-winning assistive technology organisation, Scanning Pens, has spent the last 17 years working to break down the barriers around dyslexia and other reading difficulties. Recognition of the company’s diligence was earned when they won at the Bett Awards 2019 and 2020 and recently the Queens Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2021.
Supporting those who struggle with literacy has been a personal mission of theirs from the start with Co-Founder and CEO, Jack Churchill, having dyslexia. Scanning Pens has helped tens of thousands of people worldwide and continue to find new ways to support those with reading difficulties.
Their pen scanners use portable, text-to-speech technology that reads back scanned text in a clear voice or via headphones to aid readers of all ages. Students use this support to aid their independent reading and develop their literacy skills.
Through independent research, they know people of all ages achieve their potential when they feel engaged with their daily goals and tasks. Their range of pen scanners remove the reading barriers to support independent literacy skills at school, college, university or the workplace. They offer FREE trials on their products!

Spotlight Highlight: Improv to Improve!
Stage fright is indeed a common phenomenon in the acting world. As astounding as it may sound, many famous actors do struggle with stage fright on a regular basis. At times, when on stage, one’s mind can go blank and in turn we tend to forget all the lines that we have memorised. That’s where improvisation comes to the rescue. Improvisation is unscripted and requires the actors to narrate lines or act in spontaneity. It is a performance that is not practised but instead invented by the performers themselves on the spot.
Join us for a fun-filled session as we explore the benefits of improv and how it can help students!

ARTiVating Confidence:
Using Art to Increase Children's
Self-Esteem
At ARTVenture, we provide a platform where our children can pursue their love for art or discover their talent in art.
Often in the effort to close the gap in learning, we often neglect our children's personal strengths. Thus, this could leave them feeling discouraged and feeling lowly about themselves.
At ARTVenture, we provide a platform where our children can pursue their love for art or discover their talent in art. We believe that our children with dyslexia, with their unique mind, can make us see the world differently.
Guests can also look forward to hearing from parents who have found art to be a great tool to draw on their children's strength and make them feel good about themselves.
And we know that when children feel good abouT themselves, they are more likely to perform better in school too!
Join us during our session for Zentangle! A simple art activity that you can do with children to improve their concentration and help them relax.

HOW CAN WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
The DAS Parent Support Group (PSG) was formed to provide support for parents of the students at DAS.
As a PSG member, you are more likely to be an informed and involved parent. You will also be building rapport with educators and supporting DAS initiatives.
DAS is a one-stop Centre that provides a full range of services to help students with dyslexia and other specific learning differences. We are composed of a multi-disciplinary team of psychologists, speech and language therapists & educational therapists. This group integrates with the team of lecturers, marketing and operation teams to educate professionals, teachers and parents on dyslexia and how to support a dyslexic child. This approach ensures that the physical, social, psychological, emotional and even financial needs of the DAS students are supported.
