KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is considering a school for autistic children, says Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk James Ratib.
He said the state hopes to get the pilot project off the ground by the end of the year with funding from the state Welfare Department even as a working paper was being prepared for the state Cabinet's consideration.
“Setting up a school would help as a private school for special needs people is very expensive and not affordable to many," he said during the installation of Sabah Association of Senior Citizen on Wednesday . On the status of investigations into the alleged abuse of a five-year-old boy at a childcare centre in Luyang here two weeks ago, he said the matter was still being probed by the police.
In the meantime, he said the Welfare Department was making arrangements with all child care operators to update them on the need to constantly ensure children under their care are safe.
