A charitable trust is partnering with schools to support neurodiverse students in our country’s growing Asian population.
Previous reports have shown schools and early childhood centres are failing autistic and other neurodivergent children, and that support for students with mental health problems has become the number one issue for secondary schools.
And for migrant communities, add in the barrier of language and culture too.
The Asian Community Transformation Trust is trying to bridge that gap and its founder and manager Allen Hou talks to Susie.
