Hi there,

I have a 9 years daughter with mild physical and intellectual developmental delay (She can walk short distances but for long distances she uses crutches or wheelchair sometimes, she is in grade 3 now but she is a bit behind her peers at school), and I was wondering about the following in KK:
- Accessibility in general (ramps and in streets and side walks, etc)
- Schools that can accommodate kids with Special needs
- Facilities and programs for kids with Special needs

Thanks,
Kay

Can't comment on much, except to provide a link to the international schools that are available in Sabah

Thanks Gravitas. Do you live in Kota Kinabalu yourself?
