Title: Embracing Uniqueness: Empowering A Child\u2019s Life<\/strong><\/p>

Children with disabilities are a prevalent population, yet everyone is different, from their abilities to their family background. Despite the disabilities they are born with, we can optimise their potential with early recognition and quality early intervention programs. We aim to prepare these children to enter an inclusive education setting and, later in life, an inclusive social environment. We embrace their uniqueness and empower their lives by ensuring these services are available and accessible to them and their families. Although there have been many achievements and successes, much has yet to be done and see improvement. A positive partnership involving the various sectors as well the parents are hence much needed.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Title: Future of Special Education Services in Malaysia: Weaving the Tapestry that Child, Families & Teachers Needs<\/strong><\/p>

Education services for children with disabilities have slowly improved in Malaysia, evolving from services for children with physical disabilities to encompass those with learning disabilities. It has moved from being civil society organisation led to greater involvement and service provision by the government. However, implementation is still an issue, especially of inclusive education, universe design for learning, support for teachers, involvement of families, evidence-based practices and meaningful outcomes monitoring.<\/p>

This paper outlines the challenges facing the education for children with disabilities in Malaysia, offers suggestions and outlines the key \u2018movements\u2019 required on how the process can be hastened and improved. It is hoped that the education system, professionals, parents of children with disabilities, civil society and the government will move in the direction of core areas that underpin current best practices. It is important the quality services are not concentrated in urban settings but must reach all rural, indigenous and poor communities. There has also been insufficient consultation with the disabled to plan education services.<\/p>

Supporting the inclusive education of the disabled will significantly improve the learning and outcomes for all children, including those without disabilities. We need to move away from a deficit-based and ableist approach to one that accepts all children as individuals with rights to a meaningful education. As always, our focus must be on the needs of all children and their families, and not on those of the provider or the services.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>
