CHILDREN with special needs will now be able to benefit from a multisensory therapy classroom, thanks to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International and the Education Ministry’s Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI).

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.
