Sun, 24 Mar 2024 - 35min - 5 - Transforming Education for the Neurodivergent — Dr. Tricia Yeoh
While prominent organisations and specialists around the world are helping to demystify neurodivergence and its various profiles, access to the necessary services and support systems remains scarce, especially in developing countries.
In Malaysia, many neurodivergent children and their families struggle without life-changing interventions and support. Existing programmes are riddled with gaps and shortcomings, preventing children on the autism spectrum and those with other developmental disabilities from reaching their full potential and becoming meaningful contributors to society.
In this episode of RYTHM Connect, our host Umayal Eswaran sits down with the indomitable Dr. Tricia Yeoh of IDEAS (Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs) to address the ongoing struggle of inclusivity in education and the critical policy-driven interventions that must take place in order to empower neurodivergent children for the future.Learn more about:

10 million stateless people in the world right now are denied a legal identity & access to basic human rights that the rest of us take for granted daily - like education, healthcare & employment. Beyond a life of deprivation, stateless people struggle the most with a sense of belonging & feelings of being rendered invisible in countries where they have lived their whole lives.
As the Director for Social Protection at the Development of Human Resources for Rural Areas, or DHRRA in Malaysia, Maalini Ramalo has been championing human rights & dignity for stateless communities. She shares the heart-wrenching stories she’s encountered in her journey of helping thousands break free of intergenerational cycles of statelessness.
