KUALA LUMPUR: With approximately 10,000 children under the age of six registered with autism nationwide and families facing long waits for therapy, Early Autism Project Malaysia (EAP) has launched a free app to help families support their children at home.
The Autism at Home app was launched on Nov 5 by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) YB Hannah Yeoh at EAP’s 20th Anniversary Fundraising Gala.
Available in English and Bahasa Malaysia, the app provides parents, caregivers and educators with practical visuals, tools and resources for everyday use. It is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Yeoh said that, as of October 2026, approximately 99,000 individuals with autism were registered nationwide and held an OKU card, including about 10,000 children below the age of six.
