For the past 23 years, the Association for Children with Special Needs Sibu (ACSNS) has been quietly working at the community level in Sarawak to provide services to children with special needs and their families through training, resource development, advocacy and parent-support programmes. Consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan joins us to catch up with Dr Toh Teck Hock, consultant paediatrician and Secretary of ACSNS, to find out more about the situation in Sarawak, as well as how ACSNS and Agape Centre Sibu has helped to connect children and their families with care and support.
