Dayna was born in Singapore and has a son, who is on the autism spectrum. Dayna
continues to spend enormous effort to keep abreast with the latest development in autism
and is continuously searching for the “right” approach, that would help in caring for her son.
Dayna’s journey with her son began 15 years ago. She has gained enormous knowledge and
has had eye-opening experiences that changed her life and how she copes with autism. She
is relentless and tirelessly explores new techniques and learns from people with greater
knowledge and experience locally and internationally, so as to cater for their needs at home
and in a school environment.
The lack of services in Asia, when compared with those in more developed nations of the
world has deepened Dayna’s conviction to consistently strive to make a difference and to be
a positive catalyst to the Special Needs Community.
