About SENIA

Mission Statement

Our aim, as special education professionals, is to encourage the sharing of our strengths and, above all, be advocates for the young people with whom we work.

SENIA’S History

SENIA was started by a group of international school teachers in China in 2002. The intention was to create a network forum for any professionals working with children with special educational needs in Asia. The heart of SENIA is the advocacy for children with special needs in educational settings.

Since our early beginnings, the group has grown and has included international school teachers, educational psychologists, support assistants and other professionals in the field of special needs.

The SENIA Logo

The child is the center of all our support. We are the circle that supports the child, and we provide support for the child in a caring and compassionate way. The red and gold represent the flag colors of China, where SENIA originated.
