A long while ago (actually not too long ago - in 2016!), I had the immense privilege to work with the IDEAS Autism Centre, a wonderful charity that provides care and therapy for young children with autism from underprivileged families. Provision of subsidised /state-funded care in Malaysia can be really difficult to find, and private intervention can be prohibitively expensive for families living hand to mouth as is. Getting the right care and support early to children with autism is so important in ensuring they have the best chance at the lives they deserve.
The IDEAS Autism Centre fills in this gap by providing heavily subsidised care and support to these children and their families. I've seen myself the care and warmth that the teachers and staff at the Autism Centre put into the children.
They have grown so much in the last few years, having opened another centre in Nilai to provide care to more children! But they need your help to continue their work - please donate whatever you can! MYR10/GBP2 can help provide a meal for a child, or if you're able to give more - MYR100 / GBP20 can help provide a therapy session to a child!
Every little bit helps :)
