in steemxp •  5 years ago 

I was invited to attend this forum on 13/2 at Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was the 1st time this forum were held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Normally only in West Malaysia.

This forum was organised by National Population and Family Development Board together with UNICEF Malaysia. Many parents, therapists, teachers, and all child dissability centers were invited. The main objective is to contribute ideas to improve the challenges faced by children with dissabilities in the country.

ALARMING
What surprised me the most was 50% of children with dissabilities are NOT in school! 😱😱 Because of schools' silent discrimination by filtering children with dissabilities for the sake of their own school performances and scores!! This is the dark side of so called good govenment school and society blindly praised them!?? And parents just kept silent 🤐🤐 THIS IS INHUMAN!! 🤬🤬🤬

I understood this very well because my son (who have speech delayed and dyslexia) was the victim of SK (C) Anglo Chinese School, Kota Kinabalu. The school gave me a so called helping but troublesome process and silently withdrawn my son's name from entering Primary 1. Until after I found out from Education Ministry and confronted the school, the councillor gave me a very rude and disgusting interviews.

In the forum, I'm able to meet and talked to many people and know all their experiences and difficulties. I was lucky enough to be able to meet a 24 years old dyslexic adult and gained insight of her difficulties.

2 parents were invited to share their experiences of raising their children with dissabilities. What surprised me the most was a mother with 3 child of dissability (2x autistic Lev 1 & 2, 1 hearing loss)! Even though all 3 children are grown up now , she still struggling to coup. 😢😢😢

(I have only 1 child with dylexic and I struggling. I'm battling with God everyday seeking answers. What stress me out is the sense of helplessness. I have no knowledges of how to improve my son's condition. 😭😭😭)
