Potential for organisational growth

While DAS provides support for over 3,500 students, it is estimated that there are 23,000 students from preschool to secondary school with dyslexia severe enough to warrant intervention.

Additionally, there is tremendous potential for growth in the region as well as support for clients who have associated specific learning differences.
