The fields of special needs education and disability in Singapore have witnessed significant changes and developments especially during the past two decades in the wake of Singapore's evolution towards its vision as an inclusive society. It is therefore timely for this book to present information, knowledge and research across a wide range of topics and issues that are relevant to the lives of Singaporeans with special needs. The chapters in this book offer a compendium of local knowledge and research on special needs and disability where the content engages with current debates, integrates international literature, and draws on exemplary practice to inform future directions and efforts for the fields of special needs education and disability. This collection of chapters by local authors also seeks to encourage readers to re-imagine and re-envision a more inclusive and positive future for persons with disabilities based upon an enriched contextual understanding of historical and current realities and practices that have affected their lives.Format: HardcoverNo of Pages: 200Imprint: World ScientificPublication date: 20211231
