RISING Star Child Development School hosted its first Autism Awareness Hour for parents yesterday, in conjunction with World Autism Awareness Day.
In collaboration with Special Olympics Brunei Darussalam (SOBD) and volunteers from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), several activites were held including a mini-physical course and a question and answer session.
One of the school’s representatives, Ang Chian Mei, told the Bulletin that the event aimed to showcase the students’ accomplishments in numerous programmes and sporting pursuits.
“We wanted to show how the school is not just an educational centre, but an inclusive community, while emphasising that the students can function normally without being stigmatised by society,” she said.
