In conjunction with this year’s Speech Therapy Week which will take place from 1 to 6 November, SPD will collaborate with the Speech-Language and Hearing Association, Singapore (SHAS) to organise a public forum to raise awareness of communication and swallowing difficulties and its impact on quality of life.

The growth and constant evolution of social media often makes it an uphill task for us to keep abreast with its developments. IAC is committed to helping you and your clients harness these new technologies so that they serve your needs. We have invited speakers from Microsoft Singapore, 24 seven Communications and Australian Communications Exchange to share on the various social media platforms and how it can enrich the lives of people with disabilities.
