Child Development Centre

The Children's Development and Rehabilitation Centre (KCDC) is a centre under the Kamakshi Co and Social Association Northern Zone (PKDS) since 2007. It is situated at Taman Tiram, Kulim.

Since it started  its operation, the rehabilitation centre has been providing care to  handicapped children of all races for free. The centre prepares  therapy sessions for five days a week the whole year through.  These therapy sessions are conducted by a highly committed and  an experienced therapist.

The therapy sessions provide physical exercise and soſt skills to  the handicapped children which indirectly groom citizens who  are independent, resilient, confident to lead a daily life like a  normal person. Besides that, the varied sessions which cater for  the different needs of the children enable them to be successfully  integrated into the community, environment and eventually be  independent economically and socially.

In addition, the centre has a complete set of equipment to conduct  physical activities to raise the kinaesthetic levels of the handi-  capped children. The centre has also prepared books of reading  and organised counselling sessions for the children's parents to  give them motivation and not to give up hope but to persevere in  giving care to their children. Besides that, group speech therapy is  able to bulid the collegiality among the parents as well as encour-  age the sharing of experience and be more confident to conduct  simple physical exercise with their children at home.
