JOB DESCRIPTION

Dyslexia in Singapore
It is estimated that there may be up to 23,000 children with dyslexia in Singapore Preschools, Primary
and Secondary Schools. While the enrolment for the DAS Main Literacy Programme presently stands
at over 3,000, we are still merely touching the tip of the iceberg. There are thousands of students with
dyslexia who need to be identified and helped. The DAS is expected to expand in size and scope
correspondingly. DAS staff must therefore be prepared to adapt to the rapidly changing organisational
needs and employment conditions of the association.

Sp LD Assessment Services Division
The DAS SAS division conducts psychological assessments to diagnose students who have dyslexia and
other related learning difficulties. The assessments include detailed discussions with parents on the
child's learning background and assessments using psychometric test batteries. DAS Psychologists
subsequently make individualised recommendations and refer these students to the DAS Learning
Centres for remediation classes, or to other professionals for more specific assistance. Each year, over
1,000 Preschool, Primary and Secondary students are assessed by DAS Psychologists.

The duties and responsibilities of DAS Adjunct Psychologists include

• Selecting, administering, and scoring psychological tests to assess for dyslexia and/or other

learning difficulties.

• Compiling and interpreting students' test results, along with information from teachers and

parents, to diagnose conditions and to help assess eligibility for special services.

• Preparing psychological reports for teachers, administrators, and parents.
• Promoting an understanding of child development and its relationship to learning and

behaviour.
