ABSTRACT
Singapore takes great pride in its academic outcomes for its students and, in a 2018 Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development report, Singapore was found to be one of the most academically resilient nations. In a concerted effort to change the conversation about learning differences in Singapore and to make a conscious move to highlight the strengths and talents of individuals with learning differences, the DAS launched the Embrace Dyslexia campaign. The story is about a talented designer, inventor and creator of educational toys, Gary Seow. The final story is about Edward Yee, Singapore's first Rhodes Scholar in 14 years. In Singapore, a great deal is known about the experiences of children with dyslexia; however, while dyslexia is commonly understood as a learning difficulty, it is still largely seen from the context of young children and the support and understanding provided for children in preschool, primary and secondary levels.
