Conference Presenters
Learning for Everyone
The 2026 Special Needs Conference brings together a diverse lineup of speakers who are passionate about creating inclusive, supportive environments for individuals with special needs. Each presenter is thoughtfully selected based on five guiding principles—Relevance, Impact, Inclusivity, Feasibility, and Engagement—to ensure sessions are meaningful, practical, and inspiring.
Our speakers will cover a wide range of critical topics, including strategies for working confidently with persons with Mild Intellectual Disability (MID), early prevention and mental well-being support for adolescents with ID, and building strong caregiver-family relationships. You’ll also gain insights into teaching Workplace Literacy for future employment, managing caregiving stress, and understanding intellectual disability across the lifespan. Other sessions will explore therapeutic communication skills, sensory-based approaches for classroom engagement, suicide intervention training, crisis behavior management, and frameworks for person-centered care.
In addition, selected workshops have been specially curated to offer Continuing Education Points (CEP) for allied health professionals, making this conference not only an opportunity for learning and networking but also a valuable step toward professional development. Through these sessions, expect real-life experiences, actionable strategies, and evidence-based practices that empower educators, caregivers, allied professionals, and employers to make a lasting impact.
