Needed - special school for children with autism | Free Malaysia Today - 0 views

  • KUALA LUMPUR: The prime minister’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, today suggested that a special school be set up for autistic children to help provide them with proper education so that they could receive proper learning and education. She said the proposed school could use the Ivymount School in Rockville in the United States as a model, where teachers helped to build the confidence of autistic children through music, songs and dance.
  • “Although autism is a life-long disorder, an autistic person can still be guided to face challenges from the outside world,”
  • Rosmah advised parents to observe their children’s behaviour to detect the early symptoms of autism and to send them to proper schools. She said children with autism should not be sent to ordinary schools. “Studies show that autistic children who receive early intervention show a more significant development,” she added.

Autistic children can be the nation's assets - Nation | The Star Online - 0 views

  • The Director of the Special Education Division under the Education Ministry, Bong Muk Shin, said children under the Special Education Programme are those who have difficulty learning in the mainstream environment. The special education stream is divided into three based on the difficulties in learning, hearing and seeing.
  • Autistic children are classified under those with learning difficulties. This is based on the general characteristics of autism such as the difficulties in focusing, communicating and socialising. Autistic children also tend to be hyperactive or prone to sudden aggression, which can at times harm themselves or others.
  • Bong advocates early intervention programmes for autistic children. He said such programmes could help them immensely in preparing and adjusting to the schooling environment.

  • Early intervention also allows them to enter the special education programme. Bong said the children would learn to become self-sufficient and independent through the programme.
  • Until March this year, 3,264 children have registered as disabled people at 925 schools nationwide. Of the figure, five percent are autistic children.
  • Bong said the ministry was aiming for 75 percent of mainstream schools to be implementing the integration programme by 2025.
  • The integration programme has been implemented at selected schools for three years now and has shown to affect the disabled children positively, he said. Bong said autistic children had every right to an education as other children and it was the parents and teachers' responsibility to help them attain it.
