Programs for Kids with Learning Disabilities in Kuala Lumpur

Breakthru Enrichment Station:
Breakthru Enrichment Station (BEST) is located in Setapak in the north-eastern part of Kuala Lumpur, and welcomes children who learn differently and those who encounter learning challenges. Currently, we have 2 groups of children for our daily programmes: First group is mainly for children up to age 8 years who require foundational skills development to prepare them for learning or mainstream education, and the second group is for children who have started learning but struggle greatly. These children usually age from 7 years and above. We work in partnership with parents, family members, caregivers and teachers to promote play and the joy of learning. Many people encounter difficulty due to many different reasons. Children that came to us include those with autism, dyslexia, global development delay, ADHD, down syndrome, aspergers and those facing challenges in adapting to main-stream education system.

Education Programs for Children with Special Needs:
Currently, we have 2 groups of children for our daily programmes:

- Foundation Skills Development Program:
First group is mainly for children up to age 8 years who require foundational skills development to prepare them for learning or mainstream education. Their activities include interaction, free play, nutrition, Brain Gym (R), Move to learn (R), Padovan Method (R), Rhythmic movements, outdoor exercises, field trips, thematic education, experiential learning, reading activities, individualised learning programmes and group participation activities.

- Learning Breakthru with Homeschool Support Program:
Second group is mainly for children who have started learning but struggle greatly. These children usually age from 7 years and above. For an education program that is wonderfully suited to these children, we utilize home schooling programs (ACE program of School of Tomorrow in particular) and Explode the Code to provide individualized learning complete to college level. They are allowed to learn at a pace that they are comfortable with, and with close coaching and encouragement they are encouraged to excel in the specific area or subject that they can do better than the rest.

Both groups of children will have time for interaction during free play, rhythmic movement, double-doodle play, reading aloud, structured and unstructured play, Original Play(R), domestic science together. Every week, the children will have experiential learning and exposure to nature and outdoor places like park, futsal, library, zoo and more. Once a week, we have our Parent-Child Intervention Class on Thursday. Parents and their special needs child attend the session together to learn and receive practical support in dealing with challenges face at home. We hope to empower these parents to love and support their children through relationship fostering.
