Educators, doctors and parents must be able to identify ‘hidden’ signs in young children: Association chief theSun theSundaily dyslexia Children healthcare malaysia news
Malaysia is in dire need of a broader education system and more awareness programmes on children with dyslexia, said Dyslexia Malaysia Association president-elect Abdullah Syakirin Mohamad.
“In my discussions, parents would usually send their child to a hospital paediatric unit. The child is then referred to the psychology unit and undergoes assessments that identify their disabilities. Based on that, Syakirin is on a door-to-door mission this year to meet with teachers and counsellors at primary schools and kindergartens in the Klang Valley.
He pointed to a time when his son had a hard time understanding the concept of dividing numbers, which has now been rectified since the nine-year-old came up with a simpler way. He would now imagine the number of circles and divide them in his head. “In between, psychologists or professional medical practitioners can collaborate with us and parents. We have daily classes and also just Saturday classes geared for children who need an extra hand in their studies,” he said.
