Dream come true for children with special needs in Subang Jaya

Posted:

At the dialogue with OKU organised by my office last year, some parents with special needs requested for a toy library and parents resource centre in Subang Jaya. This request is now being fulfilled – thanks to Malaysian Care and City Discipleship Presbyterian Church (“CDPC”). This new resource centre will cater to the needs of special needs, similar to the existing one in Bandar Tasik Selatan.

This resource centre is aimed to provide support & resource services to families of children with special needs, specifically children with learning disabilities. Services include:
– Playgroup activities (immediate on a monthly basis)
– Loan of toys & books (Jan 2010 onwards)

It will also provide avenues for parents to network, share and form support groups among themselves.

The launch will be held in conjunction with World Play Day. Details are as stated below:

Date: 13th June 2009 (Saturday)
Time: 9.30am – 12.30pm
Venue: City Discipleship Presbyterian Church, W-10-2, Subang Square Business Centre, Jalan SS15/4G, 47500 Subang Jaya (Note: To register, please call 03-56212844 or email inquiry@cdpc.org.my)

What is WORLD PLAY DAY?

“…World Play Day is a day when children and adults do what they want to do and it is also a time to relax and to interact with one another. World Play Day envisioned promoting the healthy growth of each other in simple, self-motivated activities of their own choice….”

“…One of the most important things about play is that it gets us in touch with other human beings… Children learn to talk through play, they learn to make friends through play, they get exercise through play; they also acquire the basic skills for formal education such as concentration, imagination, self-expression and the retention of useful facts. Let a child play today and ensure his happy, useful and healthy future.”
