Replies Dyslexia ● A powerful reminder of the support needed to help all learners thrive

As an educator and researcher supporting learners with dyslexia, and a parent and foster parent of children with dyslexia and other learning differences, I found Dr Isaac Lim's reflections in the Opinion section particularly resonant ("The unfair advantage of having dyslexia", Oct 28).

At the Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS), we see many students facing learning challenges who do not meet the criteria for a dyslexia diagnosis. This highlights the reality that different groups of learners learn differently. We work with children from residential homes and family service centres who struggle with learning due to undesirable childhood experiences.

DAS has now opened its doors to these groups of students, implementing profiling to ensure suitability for our programmes.
