WORLD DYSLEXIA AWARENESS WEEK

DYSLEXIA AWARENESS DAY - WEDNESDAY 8 OCTOBER 2025

World Dyslexia Awareness Week Webinar 2025

Join us on 8 October, World Dyslexia Day, for a special DAS webinar featuring four of our leaders and dyslexia experts:

• Dr Geetha Shantha Ram – Director, SpLD Assessment Services & English Language and Literacy Division

• Dr June Siew – Head, DAS Academy

• Dr Priscillia Shen – Head, DAS International & Programme Director, DAS School-based Programmes

• Dr Edmen Leong – Director, DAS Specialised Educational Services

Together, they bring nearly 80 years of combined experience in teaching, training, and research. Through heartfelt stories and lessons learned, they reflect on the small wins, breakthroughs, and lasting relationships that have shaped their journeys with students who learn differently.

The discussion covers:

• Removing barriers to learning and safeguarding students’ dignity

• Building resilience and motivation in readers with dyslexia

• Supporting teachers, parents, and schools to create inclusive environments

• Challenging myths and redefining what “success” means for diverse learners

This forum is both a celebration and a call to action: to see every learner beyond their challenges, to recognise their strengths, and to walk alongside them with empathy, humility, and hope.
