The DAS strategy in the coming years remains unchanged and this is "To build a comprehensive and holistic range of programmes and services for our clients with Dyslexia and Specific Learning Differences". Major areas for development include the increasing use of technology in our classrooms, piloting additional support for Normal Tech students and students from Institutes of Higher Learning as well as highlighting the challenge of bullying amongst students with dyslexia.
