Re-think education for special needs children


THE National Early Childhood Intervention Council (NECIC) would like to respond to a report entitled “A school of their own” (Sunday Star, Sept 15; online at bit.ly/star_intervention), which highlighted the immense lack of early intervention services to serve the increasing number of children with autism in Malaysia.

We at the NECIC agree that both the public and private sectors need to collectively upscale efforts to ensure that no child is left behind.
