About this episode

The episode explores the challenges and realities of working in special needs education in Singapore, focusing on handling student meltdowns and misconceptions about discipline.

What is it really like to work in a Special Education (SPED) school in Singapore? We speak to a school principal who has worked across two SPED schools about the parts of special needs education that most people never see, supporting students through meltdowns, handling difficult behaviour safely, navigating misconceptions about discipline, and why children with special needs are still too often underestimated.
