“My inspiration to become a speech therapist came from an interaction I had with a young special needs child when I was a teenager. Her unique way of communication made me interested to learn more. Speech therapy is not just a job but something where my heart is. I hope to help every child reach their potential and communicate meaningfully with others.”

“I know first hand how tough it can be to have a special needs family member. I understand that being a parent or a sibling of a special needs child feels like it is a full-time job with its own unique challenges and hardships as they grow up. Like how demanding it can be to raise them up and to teach them the basics of simple tasks such as bathing and going to the toilet, how ostracized they may be from society just for not being normal, and that they may still depend on you even when they grow into adulthood.

This is one of the reasons why I became an OT, to guide parents on how to raise their special needs children to be more independent and flexible. OTs can also help children to develop essential skills such as social skills, self-care skills, and gross and fine motor skills, domestic skills, and vocational skills. With that being said, I hope we can work together to bring out the best in your child!

“老师这一行一点都不简单，要面对压力还有家长的要求。可是，当看到学生一点一点的进步时，一切都是值得的。 虽然这一条路真的很不好走 ，想要在金钱和事业平衡真的很不可以…有时觉得付出了这么多，可是换回来的回报却是那么的少…两者只能选择其一。我不是一个出色的老师，可是，我是一个负责任的老师… 永远都是学生第一自己第二。做这一份工，最重要的是看见学生有进步，还有家长的笑容，真的是一切值得…”

“Helping someone in need is always my passion and I like the idea of being considered a dependable person. Besides, I love working with kids. Seeing them to improve step by step and learn new things everyday bring joys to me.”

“I have always love children and while searching for my passion I encounter many special needs children being neglected of education which lead me to the decision to learn ne understand more on ways and methods to educate children be it typical or atypical.”

“What I love about teaching is the journey I share with my students to learn and grow in a fun and engaging environment. It gives me a platform to be creative while I explore different ways to cater to my students' varying abilities. Teaching special needs children is definitely challenging, but I believe they deserve an educator who sees an equal opportunity and potential in them to succeed in society. Their differences motivate and inspire me to be a figure who can guide them towards unlocking their potential, and knowing that I have an impact in making a difference makes the job a whole lot more rewarding.”

“I have never thought that I would become a teacher when I was younger. I attended high school in a private school where I got the opportunity to befriend and teach some children with special needs. I realized that I was able to work well with them and it gave me a sense of fulfillment. I then decided to pursue a career in special education. Although challenging, being a teacher allows me to be vital part of a child’s life and it brings me joy to see children overcome personal struggles and unlocking their true potential.”

“Children are my favourite! That's all I would like to say before I begin to introduce myself. My name is Sankitha, and I studied Psychology in Kuching, Sarawak. I've been involved with the Hatching group for a quite a while, and it's an honour to be teaching SRP this year. At Hatching, I believe that each child is special not because of their limitations, but because they have so much more to offer than any other member of our society. Taking this belief further, I would like to provide as much knowledge and life skills to all of the children as possible. I am a strong believer in creating learning environments that are appropriate for each child's abilities. Because I am passionate about it, I am confident that one day I will be able to successfully place my students in regular learning streams and light a sparkle in their lives.”

“I have a cousin that is a high functioning ADD. When he was younger, I noticed the lack of understanding and awareness towards him and other special needs in general. I went on to study and educated myself more about special needs and along the journey managed to find a job as a Special Needs Teacher in Hatching Center.”

“The reason why I am in this field is because of my high school. I still remember there is a group of students who always has an early lunch and they are not many of them. Their walking, interactions, uniform are different. Then, I know, they are in a PPKI program and they are students with special needs. This “special needs” term made me curious and slowly I found this field in Malaysia is still not well known by Malaysians. Therefore, I chose my degree in Special Education and contribute to this special education field.”

“As a teacher, you have the ability to educate and mould the children into capable members of the society. A student with disability is not something to be ashamed of or taken lightly. It can be easily overcome with proper love, care and instruction that only a special education teacher can provide.”

“The reason that leads me to became a SEN Teacher today was during my Practicum days at one of the Government School at Cheras. I taught English for half a year there. Since it was rather a rural area, it was heavily populated with low and middle income family. Most of the kids I taught were lacking and having a lot of trouble in most of their subjects. That’s when I first encountered directly with students that have difficulties in learning and it affects me heavily that I don’t know the methods or correct way to help or educate them. And from there, I also thought that one day, what if my family have someone who’s having these problems and no one to help.
This is the path of life that is chosen by me to at least be someone there that able to help any children that may be struggling and needed help.”

I knew ‘special needs’ since I was 4 years old because of my grandma’s neighbour. I chose to study special needs was because of my cousin. Every children has their own unique and they are different. I am enjoyed the process and results on teaching with the kids. I am passionate to create different activities to them and I am happy to see they’re enjoy with it. As a teacher, I hope I can help as much as I can in this field and let them to be more independently. I hope all the children can learn in fun way and happy everyday just same as my name ‘ Kai Xin’.

“I want to become a teacher just because I want to inspire future generations to create a more equal world. A lot of what we talk about at school a moral issue like what's the right and wrong thing to do. How do our actions ensure or hinder equality of races,genders and social classes? As teacher , you will be instilling in children the idea that decisions they make will lead to a more or less equal world. And of course, we all want a more equal world for our children.”
