Parents urged to work with organisations to unearth disabled children’s potential

Disabled children working together to harvest vegetables at the Community-Based Rehabilitation Centre’s farm in Pagoh.

The Johor government hopes more parents or caretakers will register their disabled children with the Welfare Department (JKM) or the Community-Based Rehabilitation Centre (PDK) to nurture their hidden potential.

State women, family and community development committee chairman Zaiton Ismail said the department’s main focus was on the children and teaching them how to manage on their own when their parents were no longer around.
