Be Part Of A Change You Want To See In The World

IDEAS Autism Centre (IAC) was established in 2012 in Rawang, Selangor, by the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) Berhad (940689-W) as part of our effort to provide care for those in need, and at the same time to do research and develop a sustainable non-profitable model that can be replicated to help underprivileged children.

At IAC, we believe in an individual approach and use different treatments and therapies. IAC has its own curriculum that is based on the national curriculum, combined with ABA, TEACCH, Son-Rise and the STAR Programme.

Our curriculum is focused on the development of the child and teaches attending, listening, language, communication, pre-academic, academic, self-help, social and play skills. IAC provides one-on-one session to determine the behaviour intervention plan for each student.

What Parents Say About Us

Please read below to see what parents say about us.

“Before sending my daughter to IDEAS Autism Centre, she liked to live in her own world. She never responded when I called her, had poor eye contact, tantrum, and poor social interactions. However, I am very thankful to see her improvements since her admission at IDEAS Autism Centre from time to time. She was 3 years old at that time and now she is already 6 years old. Her eye contact has improved and she always responds whenever I call her. Ayra is also more independent as she is able to manage herself with minimal help. She can use the toilet and put on her own clothes. Her academics are also impressive as she is now able to write, draw and read. There are many more improvements that I see every day. As a mother, I am so happy to see her development and will strongly recommend this centre to other parents who have an autistic child.”

“Izdihar first entered IDEAS Autism Centre on 1st February 2016 when he was 4 years old. He was diagnosed with mild autism and ADHD. He had poor eye contact, could not talk, hyperactive, always on diapers, low social skills, and very low concentration. But, after almost half a year at this centre, my son has been improving a lot. He can speak and does not need diapers any more. He is now 8 years old and he can read, count and participate in sports such as football and running. He also loves jigsaw puzzles and reading! I owe a big thank you to all the amazing teachers at IDEAS Autism Centre for their hard work and patience. Without them, my son would not be able to be where he is today.”
