Last
Saturday I went to a seminar on “Celik Al Quran Bagi Anak-Anak Autisme” which
was held at Wisma R&D, Universiti Malaya. The seminar was jointly organized
by UM’s Centre of Quran Research and Autisme Malaysia (a FB group).
Incidentally,
me and hubby have been looking for ways on how to teach Nadiah the Al Quran. So
when I saw that the seminar was to be held then, we decided to attend even
though it was already Friday. We decided to leave for KL that afternoon after
Jumaat and arrived in Bangsar at 9.30pm.
On
Saturday, I went to the seminar and was totally blown away by the kids who
could not only read the Quran, but also memorize. I wish I had started Nadiah
early on and I am now worried that it could be too late for her.
But
nothing is ever too late. To pursue knowledge, age matters not. Anytime and
anywhere is just as precious.There was one boy, who is about the same age as
Nadiah. He started reciting the Quran by listening to the ayats repeatedly.
Which is one of the methods of introducing the Quran to an autistic child. All
these while I have always been rigid in my method of teaching something from
the basics, which is teaching the ABC before reading. So does the method of
teaching alif ba ta before reading the Quran. And I have been looking
for ideas on how to introduce the method to Nadiah. And now I’m kicking myself
(figuratively and not literally, mind you). Why didn’t I think of that. It’s
something so simple. It’s not that she hasn’t been doing the same thing for
everything else anyway. I was worried that it would be too difficult to learn alif
ba ta, then spelling the kalimahs and go on to teaching the tajweed.
I mean, why not just make her memorize the Quran with perfect mahraj and
tajweed from early on. Problem solved!
So
that was one of the things that I learned from the seminar, among other things.
There was also a very touching video that was shown which captured the hearts
of everyone and brought realization to the words of Allah. Why do we read the
Quran? Why do we believe in Allah? I’ve attached the video below. Every time I
watched the video I cried..
Subhanallah..
Allahu Akbar..

Wa'salam. Mohon maaf banyak2 sebab lambat sangat jawab. Alhamdulillah walaupun anak u tak boleh bercakap, tapi yang keluar dari mulutnya adalah kalimah2 Allah. Syukur.. sekurang2nya kita tahu dia boleh bersuara. Encik jangan risau, budak2 autisme kalau diberi intervention di peringkat yang awal insyaallah berupaya untuk bercakap bila meningkat umur. Cuma lain budak lain tahap preogress dia. Ada yang cepat, ada yang labat sedikit. Kita sebagai parents perlu bersabar banyak2.
