MELAKA: A special course for kindergarten (tabika) and nursery (taska) teachers of the Community Development Department (Kemas) is being proposed from next year to help them identify special needs children who require special attention.
State rural development, agriculture and food security committee chairman Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh said this effort was seen as important as an early detection measure since there were still parents who only realise their children have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) when they enter primary school.
