What a session at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) hosted at Putra-PDK (Pusat\u00a0Pemulihan\u00a0Dalam\u00a0Komuniti).\u00a0
\u00a0
We came to talk about helping students and staff better understand their strengths and the support they need for their challenges. We stayed (way past time) because the conversation got seriously technical in the best way.\u00a0
\u00a0
The academicians went deep on:\u00a0
\u2022 What a spiky profile really means\u00a0
\u2022 How ratings translate into meaningful categories\u00a0
\u2022 Validity and reliability of assessments\u00a0
\u2022 Responsible interpretation in real-world settings\u00a0
\u00a0
No surface talk. Just thoughtful challenge, debate, and shared intent to do this properly.\u00a0
\u00a0
Huge thanks to both\u00a0Dr. Harnisha\u00a0Haidhir<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and Dr. Siti Noraini\u00a0Asmuri\u00a0for the warm welcome and for showing us the centre\u2019s sensory room, where children aged 4\u20136 learn to understand and navigate sensory experiences.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0early intervention done right: not \u201cfixing\u201d\u00a0children, but\u00a0preparing them to understand their world.\u00a0
\u00a0
When research, practice, and honest questions meet, inclusion stops being a buzzword and starts becoming a system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
