About Us

The formation of the Lions Resource Centre for Autistic Children in Penang was spearheaded by the good work and efforts put in by Mrs Diana E. Khoo, who was then the Regional Training Officer for Far East Region Cheshire Homes. In January 1987, two volunteer speakers from South Australia, Wendy Anderson and Barbara Long, arrived in Penang to conduct a 5 - day workshop entitled “Children with Autism’. Shortly after the workshop, a meeting among parents, members of the Lions Clubs, doctors and interested members of the public bore fruit when a programme for autistic children was launched in the same year.
