Founding the SEN Symposium
Raising awareness and understanding since 2021
The Special Education Needs (SEN) Symposium, organized annually by Kiwanis Malaysia Academy (KMA) since 2021, aims to raise awareness and understanding of the neurodivergent community. Ever since, the symposium has engaged NGOs, educators, parents, and government officers, with participation growing through virtual and in-person events.
Enriching Neurodiverse Lives
Understanding, inclusion, and empowerment
The 2024 Special Needs Symposium is a platform for fostering understanding and appreciation of neurodiversity. By bringing together experts, advocates, and community members, we aim to share knowledge and strategies that promote inclusivity and well-being for neurodivergent individuals in education, employment, and social integration.
Empowering Neurodiversity
Addressing challenges, celebrating strengths
This symposium is essential for the neurodivergent community, addressing their challenges and opportunities. By focusing on their strengths, we aim to shift societal views toward greater inclusivity. The event will offer resources to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and ultimately fostering a society where neurodivergent individuals can thrive and contribute meaningfully.
