Events

Organised by the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) on 20–21 August, this was Singapore’s first conference dedicated to visual impairment and rehabilitation. The event brought together professionals, advocates, and community partners to share knowledge and explore practical solutions to support persons with visual impairment.

Our vision teacher, Lay Hong, shared her experience teaching children with Cerebral Visual Impairments (CVI) and participated as a panelist in both the CVI discussion and The Visual Rehabilitation Pathway.

Our Chairman, A/Prof Wong Meng Ee, also spoke on “The Stigma Against the Blind and How to Overcome It,” offering insights on how Singapore can shift societal attitudes towards greater inclusion.

It was heartening to see so many come together with a shared commitment to improving the lives of persons with visual impairment. We look forward to continued collaboration in building a more inclusive future.
