The Singapore Psychological Society (SPS) was founded on 20 January 1979, and has as its
aim the advancement of psychology as a science and as a profession in Singapore
On Psychology Programmes Accedited and/or Recognised by the Singapore Psychological Society
Recently, there have been a number of educational institutions that have claimed that their psychology programmes are recognised and/or accredited by the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS). It should be noted that contrary to these claims the SPS does not accredit psychology programmes. Neither has the SPS lent its name to any institution in recognition of any psychology programmes. Hence members of the public are advised to ignore such claims made by any instititution. Any information regarding the authenticity of psychology programmes will be considered on a case by case basis, in tandem with applications for membership with the SPS.

SPS Members Social Nite - 2 August 2010
Some came from Russia, Iran and South Africa, some were veterans in the field of psychology, and some were students trying to understand the world of how people thought and behaved. Together, they converged in Far East Square, at a Japanese grill and café, called Shin Kushiya on the night of August 2nd for the second networking dinner of the Singapore Psychological Society.
The night was clear and the ambience befitting as the more than 20 members sipped lychee cocktail and munched on appetizers. There was enthusiastic rapport as members who did not know each other exchanged name cards, veterans shared their experiences to students, students asked those present opinions on everything that concerned psychology, and foreigners also sought guidance from locals on how they could further contribute to the profession in this country. Such is the purpose of the SPS' Members Night, a small step towards advancing psychology as a science and profession in Singapore.
SPS would like to thank Shin Kushiya for the complimentary cocktail which gave all of us a good start to the evening.
Thank you to all who attended.

IASSID Singapore 2009
We would like to invite you to the 2nd IASSID Asia Pacific Conference.
The conference will be held at Singapore, 24 to 27 June 2009, at the Furama Riverfront Hotel.
The conference theme is: "Creating possibilities for an inclusive society"
The conference details and the abstract submission system are now
on-line: www.iassid.org
Abstracts need to be submitted by the end of November 2008. Individual papers, symposia, workshops and posters are all welcome. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed and those accepted for the conference will be published in the Journal of Policy & Practice in Intellectual Disabilities.
The on-line registration system will soon be on-line.
There are a number of organisations partnering with IASSID to make this a significant event on the international scientific calender. These include the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC), the Asia Pacific Down Syndrom Federation and the Australian Association of Doctors in Developmental Disability Medicine.
There are also many regional and local service providers working together, as part of our efforts to ensure that the conference provides a mechanism to promote 'research to practice' and that practice issues inform and influence the research agenda of the scientific community.
As part of our efforts to promote dialogue between researchers, practitioners and people with disability, the conference will include the inaugural meeting of the Asian Research to Practice Roundtable.
This event will take place across the 4 days of the conference; bringing together scientists, practitioners and people with disability to establish and implement a research to practice agenda for the region.
The IASSID Academy on Education, Teaching & Research will host accredited workshops prior to and following the conference. The workshops will take place at Singapore and in neighbouring countries.
If you are interested in hosting such a workshop, you can contact the Academy Chair, Professor Roy Brown for details and to discuss your
proposal: roybrown@telus.net
See the attached information sheet for more details of the conference.
Please feel free to circulate this information among your colleagues and networks and to include details in your various organisational newsletters, etc.
