PART 2 REPORT ON THE COMMISSION’S FORUM ON THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION FOR CWLD 25. In response to the issue, Mr. Hambali reiterated that proper placement for children with disabilities is an essential matter. All parties should play their roles accordingly. Curriculum for Children with Learning Disabilities 26. Puan Jenny responded that the system of non-examination and functioning living skills which include learning readiness, daily living skills, community access, personal and social developments as well as work and leisure should be the primary focus in educating children with learning disabilities. The curriculum should be easy to learn and should touch on personal care and daily chores as what has been taught in Seri Mengasih to ensure they are able to sustain their future life. 27. A disabled participant shared that she had been denied the chance to learn in schools due to her inability to hold a pen to write. The school could not cater to her the problem due to insufficiency of proper teaching aids and devices. She hoped that the same situation would not recur in future. 28. In addition, there was a suggestion that children with learning disabilities in particular those with autism be sent to both mainstream school and CBR where they could learn to deal with their focus problem (in schools) and learn the necessary living skills for future days (CBR). 29. A representative from Majlis Guru Pendidikan Khas Sabah further added that Training Support Programme as one of the subjects in school should be intensified. Since 2010, SK Kolombong had managed to send 59 disabled students for internship programme to several companies to gain training and experience in working life. Parents Support and Awareness 30. Puan Nadiah highlighted that the parents should accept the conditions of their children and move on to assist the children to face the reality of the world. The parents should constantly motivate, support and be a good listener to their spouses in helping to achieve the best output for their children.
