I am honored to announce that our 2027 Biannual APSSLH Conference will be hosted in Singapore. This conference is more than a professional meeting; it is a landmark opportunity to unite, share innovative research, and forge lasting connections across our community. I truly hope to see you there for an unforgettable experience.
The core of our organization is collaboration. By bridging cultures and borders, we improve the lives of those living with speech, language, hearing, and swallowing disorders. From seasoned clinicians to students embarking on their careers, every one of you has a vital voice. I encourage you to join us, share your insights, and grow alongside your peers.

Welcome from the SALTS President
Elizabeth Teo
On behalf of the Speech and Language Therapy Singapore (SALTS), it is my great honour to welcome the speech and language therapy community from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to APSSLH 2027 in Singapore.
Under the theme “Diverse Voices, Shared Vision: Re-imagining Asia Pacific Care,” this congress celebrates the diversity of our region while bringing us together through a shared commitment to advancing speech and language therapy.
APSSLH 2027 will provide a platform to exchange knowledge, showcase innovation and foster meaningful collaboration across clinical practice, research and education. Our programme will span a broad range of areas within speech and language therapy, including dysphagia, tracheostomy and airway management, paediatric feeding, speech and language, cleft and craniofacial care, and beyond.
As we gather in Singapore, we invite you to share your expertise, engage with diverse perspectives and inspire new possibilities for the future of care.
We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore and to APSSLH 2027, where diverse voices come together with a shared vision for the future.
On behalf of SALTS,
Ms Elizabeth Teo, CCC-SLP President of SALTS
Society for Audiology Professionals Singapore
Welcome from the SAPS President
Sharad Govil
On behalf of the Society for Audiology Professionals Singapore (SAPS), I am delighted to welcome the audiology community from across Asia-Pacific to Singapore for APSSLH 2027.
This is an exciting time for audiology. Advances in hearing technology, artificial intelligence, implantable hearing solutions and diagnostics are changing what is possible, while our growing understanding of hearing, cognition, healthy ageing and rehabilitation continues to broaden the role of the audiologist. APSSLH 2027 gives us an opportunity to come together as a profession, share what is working across different healthcare systems, learn from new research and technology, and discuss how we can translate these developments into better outcomes for the people we serve.
For audiologists, I hope this congress will be more than an opportunity to update our clinical knowledge. It is a chance to meet colleagues from across the region, exchange ideas, challenge established ways of thinking and build collaborations that strengthen audiology across Asia-Pacific. Singapore is a natural meeting point for our diverse region, and we look forward to welcoming you here for meaningful conversations, new perspectives and, importantly, new connections.
I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore as we learn from one another and shape the next chapter of audiology in Asia-Pacific.
Dr. Sharad Govil, AuD President, Society for Audiology Professionals Singapore (SAPS)
