estive occasions are vibrant celebrations that engage the senses, from colorful decorations to the sounds of chanting and the aroma of traditional foods. However, for individuals who are neurodivergent – such as those with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or other neurodevelopmental conditions – attending these celebrations can present unique challenges. Navigating crowded spaces, loud noises, and unfamiliar sensory stimuli can be overwhelming. With some careful planning and consideration, individuals and families can enjoy festivals while accommodating their sensory needs.
Setiap tahun kita meraikan beberapa hari ketidakupayaan, selalunya dengan penglibatan Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat (KPWKM), Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) dan, kadang kala, Kementerian Pendidikan (KPM). Baru-baru ini, kita telah menyambut Hari Kesedaran Autisme Sedunia (2 April). Pada bulan Mac, kami menyambut Hari Sindrom Down Sedunia (21 Mac). Juga diraikan adalah Hari Orang Kurang Upaya Sedunia (3 Disember), Hari Palsi Serebrum Sedunia (6 Oktober), Minggu Kurang Upaya Halimunan (Invisible Disabilities Week) (17–23 Oktober) dan banyak lagi.
Each year we celebrate a number of disability days, often with the involvement of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM), Ministry of Health (MOH) and, at times, the Ministry of Education (MOE). Recently, we observed World Autism Awareness Day (2 April). In March, we celebrated World Down Syndrome Day (21 March).
All these matter as we commemorate international observances.
