Malaysia has recently paid more attention to special needs education, as highlighted in Chapter 4 - Student Learning, in the recent 2013 - 2015 Malaysia Education Blueprint. With a staggering 400,000 Malaysians considered disabled or having special needs, recent statistics show that up to 95% of them are unemployed, possibly contributing to the country’s GDP loss of RM92 billion per annum. Yet, awareness and education amongst Malaysians about the hardship faced by the disabled community remain low, causing discrimination within our society, be it at schools or offices. The government has since started engaging other ministries and NGOs to help in identifying pertinent issues faced by the community and are looking at implementing these initiatives.
