Programs for Special Needs Children 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.

Established in January 2010, Breakthru Enrichment Station aims to help individuals to develop confidence through individually designed programs and IEPs according to his / her need. Children are supported in order to overcome their learning challenges, and develop their foundation skills using various Movement Based Techniques including Brain Gym, Rhythmic Movement, BAVX and more. We also provide training and courses for parents and individuals, and are a licensed centre for Brain Gym and Touch for Health courses.

We provide breakthrough support through plenty of experiential play, interaction and relationship with our special needs children. Our programs are carefully structured for children who encounter these learning difficulties or behavioural problems.

"My husband and I learned that our daughter has mild autism when she was 3 years old. Now she is 10 years old. When she was seven years old, we enrolled her in the special education unit of a mainstream school.  After nine months, we noticed that she was deteriorating in her lessons and had developed behavioural problems. We sought help from Phoebe of Breakthru Kids.  In three months, my daughter showed improvement. When Phoebe started BEST Centre last year, our daughter continued with her Breakthru learning and home school guidance. I also attended the Brain Gym (R) 101 International Certificate Course.  I’m calmer and more positive in my outlook now. Brain Gym is a useful course for me and others, too.

During the Chinese New Year last year, our relatives were impressed by my daughter’s ability to read and spell difficult words. They noticed a lot of changes in her.  This Chinese New Year, my daughter again impressed our relatives. She helped with our Penang reunion dinner preparations by cutting the vegetables.  Even when everyone had finished and it was late into the night, she was still eager to do more. She also wrote down a list of things that she would like to do. My mother-in-law was so touched that she saved the list. I see light in my daughter’s future better now." - Joanne.
