This year, eight schools under the PPKI primary schools are recipients of the Rotary Global Grant-sponsored multisensory therapy classrooms and training of 30 teachers for special needs pupils.“There are about 300,000 special needs students in Malaysia and the number is increasing.
“This will help special needs children adapt to the environment,” said Rotary Club Bandar Utama assistant governor and past president Judy Chong at the opening of a multisensory therapy classroom in SJK Sungai Buloh in Kampung Baru Sungai Buloh, Selangor. The project was made possible by Rotary Global Grant #2231898, The Rotary Foundation, Rotary Club Malaysia District 3300, Rotary Club Japan District 2560, international Rotary partner Rotary Club of Takada East, Japan, host Rotary Club of Bandar Utama, as well as local Rotary partners Rotary Club of Cheras and Rotary Club of Pudu in Kuala Lumpur; Rotary Club of Sitiawan and Rotary Club of Teluk Intan, Perak; and Rotary Club of Bukit Bendera, Penang.
“That means more than 900 pupils will learn to understand their peers who have special needs and be more sensitive towards them. Education should be inclusive,” he stressed.
