She was awarded a long service award by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports for her invaluable contributions to the community.
Being a dyslexic herself and suffering from Irlen Syndrome (visual dyslexia), Doris managed to overcome her disorder which led to her interest and concern for students who were underachieving and experiencing reading difficulties. She realises there is a lack of knowledge about this condition and treatment in Singapore, and hopes to work with schools and higher educational institutions to arrest and treat Irlen Syndrome especially in young children. She authored the book “Achieve Your Breakthrough in Learning Difficulties” to share with parents, teachers and professionals to educate them about the Irlen Method for treating visual dyslexia.
