SENIA was started by a group of international schoolteachers in China in 2002. The goal was to create a support network for teachers and other professionals working with children with special educational needs in Asia. Over the years we have grown to include other regions of the world.
More and more families that have children who are differently-abled move overseas–and we are excited to see many students getting the support that was previously not available. Our network has expanded to include international schoolteachers, educational psychologists, parents and other specialists, administrators, support assistants, community organizations, and other professionals in the field.
Since the early beginnings, our heart has always been advocating for children with special needs. We are excited about the future and thank you for joining us!
SENIA local chapters and teacher representatives are pillars of the SENIA movement and provide local support and advocacy in regions around the globe.
