Singapore - a public assisted learning centre in Singapore, the Dyslexia Association of Singapore offers assessment, educational therapy and assistance to children aged 6 to 16 who are diagnosed as dyslexic to help them cope with the academic rigour of mainstream school.
The children learn compensatory strategies to read and spell in a multi sensorial setting which are adapted to suit their learning style.
These twice weekly classes are given on top of the normal school curriculum.
In addition the DAS seeks to increase the awareness of dyslexia in Singapore so that the mainstream academic teachers will be able to monitor young children and put forth cases that are deemed to exhibit signs and symptoms of dyslexia either though delayed quality of work or conduct in class.
While some schools are more proactive in this awareness and partnership with DAS, some are still relatively closed to the idea and harbour some myths of dyslexia such as the notion of its alleged relation to intelligence and lifestyle determinants. (M.E., Singapore)

Awareness of dyslexia in China is gradually growing, and we are collecting details of local dyslexia groups all over China. We are also awaiting new research into the effects of dyslexia in the Mandarin language.
