Raising Children with Special Needs

Malaysian paralympians shone in the recent Paralympics - some of whom were categorised under "athletes with intellectual disabilities". We ask Consultant Developmental Paediatrician, Dr Rajini Sarvananthan what it's like to raise children with special needs to that they can excel in their own right. Joining her in the conversation is Learning and Behaviour Consultant, Intan Miranti, who is also a parent to a child with special needs.
