Spastic Children’s Association of Johor is a non-governmental organisation. The Spastic Children Association of Johor is the only Centre in Johor that provides special education, therapeutic rehabilitation, vocational training and also manages a sheltered workshop. We cater these services for children afflicted with cerebral palsy, commonly referred to as spasticity.
We require annual expenses of RM1.5 million, most of which goes towards salaries for the therapists, teachers and support staff. The State Government and Ministry of Social Welfare grant us about RM470,000 annually. Being a non-government charitable organisation, we are expected to raise the balance ourselves. Hence, we try to raise funds by renting of the Hall and Seminar Room. The rest comes from fund raising projects and public donations.
Spastic Children’s Association Johor (SCAJ) strive the best to provide sufficient facilities with our scarce resources to maximise its rehabilitation programme. We need more professional care givers, latest equipment and technologies. We depend on people who are kind-hearted and responsible to help us at SCAJ to realise our target of providing those facilities and services.
