KUCHING, Nov 1: The Sarawak government is continuing to strengthen inclusive development for children with special needs by expanding its One-Stop Early Intervention Centre (OSEIC) network to Miri, which is scheduled to open this month.

In a TVS news report, caretaker Sarawak Deputy Minister for Women and Child Development Datuk Rosey Yunus said the expansion aims to ensure more children with special needs have access to early support and intervention, preventing them from being left behind in education and development.

She said the programme’s effectiveness was reflected in the fact that 28 per cent of children who completed the intervention programme successfully transitioned into mainstream education.
