2. Special education addresses the individual differences and necessities
of students with special educational needs. As a teacher or trainer,
working with students with special educational needs requires specific
skills and strategies to build and deliver effective programs of work
for them.
This year, this conference is planned in collaboration with the Australian
Ministry of Education, to educate and enhance the knowledge of
persons working with children who have special learning needs, such as
Professionals, Therapist, Special Education Educators and Caregivers.
Conferences of this nature are limited in Malaysia and we strongly
believe that our Malaysian educators will surely gain great knowledge
and insight, and experience in learning support for special needs and
will be able to identify, design and modify the curriculum to meet the
needs of these children.
The Conference
• To obtain hands on training from the workshop.
• Proper planning and curriculum design.
• Learning to implement programs according to the child’s needs.
