UNITE SPLD 2022

Supporting children with special educational needs is a challenging endeavour requiring the best knowledge, skills and resources. Besides being tiring to figure it out on your own, it may also compromise the child’s ability to achieve his or her maximum potential.

Help is at hand at UNITE SPLD 2022 – a conference dedicated to place parents, teachers or practitioners working with children with Specific Learning Differences (SpLD) in the best position for success.

This annual conference will showcase research that covers aspects of behaviour, identification, early intervention, technology, multilingualism, assessment and more for children and adults with special learning needs. 

It will be delivered via short, engaging and entertainment sessions with opportunities to interact with conference speakers to optimise your learning experience. Expect to be equipped with a strong overview of the SpLD field while deep diving into practical solutions presented by international researchers.

Organised by the Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS), this year’s conference will be presented along the following themes:

• About Learning Differences

• Intervention and Identification
