To boost public awareness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Kelab Ibubapa Kanak-Kanak Autisma Daerah Klang (Kelab Anugerah) will be holding the Sinar Anugerah 2026: Autism Social Integration and Talent Showcase on April 26. Organised in collaboration with Klinik Kesihatan Bukit Kuda and Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Klang, the programme is held in conjunction with World Autism Awareness Day, observed annually on April 2. Kelab Anugerah founder Dr Izan Hairani Ishak said the event aims to raise public understanding of ASD while promoting social integration and stronger community support. "Anugerah was founded with the hope of building a supportive community where families of children with autism can find understanding, encouragement and strength together. Through these initiatives, Kelab Anugerah aims to create a supportive community where parents feel guided, encouraged and better equipped to support their children’s development.
