    Celebrating SpecialKids reflects on our 10-year journey with the children and families who have placed their trust in us.

    The book contains stories written from the heart – intimate testimonies of the children, some who have grown (and others still working on it) and their parents. 

    In it, Dr Lian Wee Bin also shares her recollections of unique individuals and lessons learnt over the years.

    Who we are

    ABOUT SPECIAL KIDS

    SpecialKids Child Health & Development Clinic

    is one of the first private paediatric clinics providing medical and developmental care for the special needs child in Singapore. We believe that every child is a unique individual, with the potential to blossom and develop beyond what we can see. Every kid is special in their own way – it is for us to discover their talents and their strengths. Every child has their own strengths and weaknesses. It is therefore our challenge to use their strengths to boost their weaknesses, in order for every child to optimize their developmental potential.
