Autism Collaborative is proud to present the "Beyond School: Pathways and Meaningful Engagement for Persons with Special Needs in Singapore" Talk.

Transitioning from school into adulthood can be both exciting and challenging for persons with special needs and their families. This workshop provides an overview of the various post-school pathways available in Singapore, including home-based options, micro-business opportunities, engagement programmes, Day Activity Centres (DACs), Sheltered Workshops (SWs), supported employment, and open employment.

Participants will explore how each pathway supports different levels of independence, abilities, interests, and long-term goals. The workshop will also examine how meaningful engagement after school impacts overall quality of life, including mental well-being, social inclusion, physical health, emotional resilience, cognitive development, and self-determination.

This workshop is suitable for educators, caregivers, social service professionals, therapists, and families supporting youths and adults with special needs.

The talk will be presented by Zhang Lihan, founder & director of Click Pte Ltd. Lihan is a special education professional dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs in leading meaningful and dignified lives. She holds a Master of Education in Special Education from the University of Melbourne and has worked with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families in Singapore and Australia since 2005.

From 2011 to 2016, she served as the Functional Academic Head of the Vocational Track at Pathlight School, where she developed vocational curriculum and mentored teachers in autism-friendly practices and behavioural strategies. Lihan is a certified CPI Safety Intervention Instructor, holds a Certificate in Autism from the Autism Resource Centre, and has completed TEACCH training for adolescents and adults with autism.
