4-hour Free Trial Service

The Children Respite Home (KL) Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia's first community-based respite care centre for children, has introduced a 4-hour free trial service. This initiative allows children with medical conditions to undergo an initial evaluation to determine if the centre's short-term care services are suitable, while giving parents the chance to experience the environment and care process firsthand.

Established in 2024, the Kuala Lumpur Children Respite Home provides short-term care for children aged 5 to 18 who are bedridden or living with chronic conditions and disabilities.

We specialize in caring for children with congenital heart disease, cerebral palsy, spinal deformities, hydrocephalus, and other special needs. The centre is staffed with a team of part-time physiotherapists, matron, full-time nurses, and trained caregivers, ensuring professional and compassionate support.

趁著從新山搭長途火車北上霹靂的轉車時間,拜訪 Sing Lee Chew 在 Kelana Jaya 設立的 Children Respite Home - KL Sdn. Bhd. 兒童暫托護理之家 (CRH)。

和星利相識是偶然的緣分,他當時仍在新加坡聯合早報擔任副刊編輯,我則因爲友人的推薦,寫了一篇稿給星利負責的旅游版。之後星利向我邀了幾次稿,有機會把當年帶著阿恆到處走的經歷通過報章刊載記錄下來,是段很難忘的回憶。

新冠疫情爆發初期,星利得知我剛結束拉達克的冰河健行之旅,再次向我邀稿。我一口答應,沒想到疫情越來越嚴重,連串的轉變讓我應接不暇,難以專心寫稿,這份邀約也就擱置一旁。後來從另一位早報編輯友人口中得知星利已離職,並投入臨終關懷服務。我和星利過去僅以郵件溝通,沒有其他聯絡方式,只能在心裏默默獻上祝福。

去年在友人的臉書和星利重新聯絡上,才知道他開設了一間兒童暫托照護中心。小妹在職能治療與特教中心任職,因此我對暫托照護服務 (respite service)不陌生。對家中有特需孩童或病童,需要長期照護的家庭來說,這類服務能讓擔任照護者的家人有個喘息空間,可以抽空處理事務,或者讓自己能稍微放鬆平時緊綳的情緒。

我一直想爲當年那篇失約的稿件向星利致歉,原來他並不怪我。這次登門拜訪,聽星利娓娓道來開設暫托照護中心的始末。特需孩童家庭其實需要社區的接納與支援,但大衆的關注並不多。在可以逍遙度過退休生涯的歲月,星利選擇投入全副精神與心力,為需要幫助的家庭提供多一份支持,我真的由衷感到敬佩。

CRH簡介手冊有一句讓我蠻感觸的話:
"Every caregiver deserves a good rest – even angels need to rest"

沒有親歷長照的過程,難以體會那份無止境的疲憊。如果雪隆區朋友的身邊有需要respite service的家庭,可以聯絡 CRH 並上門參觀。CRH 目前仍需要人手,有意加入照護團隊 / 擔任義工,也可向他們咨詢。

祝福星利,也祝福 CRH 接下來就像logo的那棵生命樹,繼續茁壯成長,也讓更多特需孩童與病童的家庭知道:在長期照護這條路上,你們並不孤單。

谁说自闭就等于 "不聪明"?

谁说自闭就等于 "不聪明"? 事实告诉我们恰恰相反!

很多人对于自闭儿童带有负面的刻板印象,觉得"自闭"就等同于"不聪明"。在与Uncle Tony交流的时候, 他感叹听到一些不理解的人总是嫌弃自闭儿童"迟钝", "不聪明" "蠢",而听到这些酸言酸语,Uncle Tony 对于 那些被误解的孩子感到百般的心疼,内心更是感到十万个不满。

"谁说他们不聪明!?相反的,他们比任何人还要聪明!"

接触了来自不同背景的自闭儿童后,Uncle Tony 发现每一个孩子不但聪明,他们甚至还有些惊人的天赋。

"比如说,有个孩子来到中心这里不但能够在15分钟以内完成一个拼图,他还完成了四份!甚至我平时念给他的唐诗三百首, 他居然也学上了!"

"这不是一般人都能做得到的啊!"

Uncle Tony 认为,孩子就像一朵春花,对的时刻到了就一定盛开。对于自闭儿而言,大家给予他们的刻板印象就是"迟钝", "笨", "活在自己的世界", 但是只要有专业的指点,更多的同理心,耐心与关怀,你会发现,其实每个自闭儿都有他独一无二的天赋!
