But as we dyscover our differences and embrace them together, we find that time flies by, we all learn to grow together and accomplish each of our goals. This book was published 5 years ago, and this year on our 30th birthday, may we all look back on how we have continued to help each other and grown together. Happy happy birthday, DAS.

Nothing has captured me more than Oliver Jeffers 'How to catch a star'.

I find meaning again and again in this delightful story about a boy who loved the stars so much he decided to get one for himself. It's a story about not being afraid to have big dreams. Happy Birthday DAS! Thank you for 30 years of giving children a fighting chance at going after their big dreams!

My absolute favourite book that I read when I was in my teens became my absolute favourite Ghibli movie as well. It is none other than Howl’s Moving castle! 

# data[].attributes.body
Although there are many themes to Howl’s Moving Castle, the one that struck a chord with me is that all the characters end up taking control of their own lives and they pursue paths that fulfil them more than what is just expected of them~ I feel this very strongly with my students who have dyslexia. They can pursue their own paths and be the masters of their own destiny~ Just like all my favourite characters in Howl’s moving castle 🏰!

I loved reading "Clifford the Big Red Dog" when I was young, as I love dogs and Clifford was like a dependable companion that I could rely on. Likewise, DAS has been that pillar of support for many children struggling with Dyslexia. Thank you DAS for all that you have done, and Happy Birthday! -Rachel

•The resilience, courage and hope displayed by a young teenager in times of absolute horror and misery is what the world needs now. Accepting and embracing differences is what was needed then and is definitely what we need now. Thank you for doing what you do DAS. Happy 30th Birthday!!  Nithyashree

"If you look the right way, the whole world is a garden." - Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden (1911).

To grow, you'll need to learn to look. And when you can finally do, you'll open up the pathway which leads to a thousand possibilities that lay ahead of you.

Thank you DAS for showing our children the way! Happy 30th Birthday!

As a class, our common favourite show is the anime Demon Slayer! We love how though Nezuko is not the typical Demon Slayer hero, the Corps were willing to embrace her, accepted her differences and have her as part of their team. To embrace differences in our lives is a beautiful thing! Thank you for leading the way, DAS! Happy 30th Birthday!

Detective Pikachu says, "The journey to LEARN EM' ALL is everlasting! We can still learn despite our differences." Thank you DAS for providing our young ones with the opportunities to grow and learn and for giving educators the chance to TEACH EM' ALL! Happy 30th Birthday DAS!

Everyone with different learning needs can still progress and learn. You are never too old or odd to master something new!
Happy Birthday DAS, you are making a difference!

My favourite childhood book is "The Magic Faraway Tree" as it brought the main characters on adventures while they were in it. Thank you for 30 years of helping children navigate and finding their own adventures despite all their different learning needs! Happy birthday DAS! :>> -Charis
