Learning Journeys
The Learning Journey
As part of the conference, our curated learning journeys will give participants a unique opportunity to step beyond the sessions and experience the vibrant special needs ecosystem in Singapore.
These journeys include guided visits to various special education schools and facilities, offering firsthand insights into how inclusive education and support services are delivered.
A highlight of the experience is the showcase of APSN’s pioneering through-train curriculum, which provides a seamless, holistic pathway for learners—from primary and secondary education to vocational training and ultimately the Centre for Adults. This integrated approach demonstrates how continuity and alignment in training empower individuals with special needs to achieve independence and meaningful participation in society.
Join us to see best practices in action and bring home ideas that can transform your own teaching, caregiving, or professional practice.
Call for Papers & Presenters
We invite researchers, educators, allied health professionals, and practitioners—both local and overseas—to share your expertise at the 2026 Special Needs Conference.
This is your opportunity to present applied research that is practical, innovative, and transformative, aimed at improving the lives and learning experiences of individuals with special needs. We are looking for papers and presentations that offer real-world solutions, evidence-based strategies, and fresh perspectives across education, employment, mental health, caregiving, and technology.
Join us in shaping meaningful conversations and driving progress in the special needs community. Your insights can inspire change and empower stakeholders to create inclusive environments where everyone thrives.
