The conference featured nine breakout sessions, two special exchange sessions, and two pre-conference workshops. It focused on various themes such as rehabilitation for autism spectrum disorder, treatment and intervention for language disorders, and swallowing and voice disorders. Academic exchanges were conducted through keynote presentations, roundtable discussions and workshops.
