For the second year running, D&S is hosting a fun run event. Last year's event received an overwhelming response from participants and we can't wait to welcome you once again to join us in our efforts!</div>
<div>
This Fun Run has become an avenue for us to continue our efforts to raise public awareness of the incredible abilities of many learning disabled individuals and their phenomenal achievements despite their limitations.</div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "basic" , sans-serif;">The growth of Bake with Dignity is like a seed sown into the ground that has sprouted and now looking for more space to flourish. For the past seven years, Bake with Dignity has been sharing the very kitchen used for D&S supported living programme in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "basic" , sans-serif;">From a humble 6-litre oven, we invested in a 56-litre Zanussi Oven Stove. As more orders came in especially during the festive seasons, we bought a gas-fired industrial oven with a capacity of baking 20kg/hour. As the business continues to grow, the space in the kitchen has grown tighter too - a challenge for one of our members who is a wheelchair user. Ventilation is also an issue. When the industrial oven is on for extended period, it is a challenge to keep cookie doughs and bakers cool.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "basic" , sans-serif;">Today, we are proud to announce that we have moved to a brand new site! In order to create more job opportunities for our members with higher functioning skills, the site will feature a café to serve walk-in customers. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "basic" , sans-serif;">We will also host baking classes on weekends. Classes will be opened to Persons with Learning Disabilities 17 years old and above as well as parents/caregivers who want to learn to bake in order to teach their children/charges.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "basic" , sans-serif;">Holiday baking programmes are also in the pipeline for anyone who simply wants to learn to cook and bake – there’s something for everyone!</span></div>

Last Saturday was a little different from our regular weekends, we woke up bright and early but this time, we headed to a different park and not for the purpose of carrying out our morning exercises. We were headed to the Taman Jaya park to attend a carnival organised by MagnumCares.<br />
<br />
We have been very fortunate to received support from Magnum 4D for the last two years and this year, in conjunction with World International Charity Day, MagnumCares organised a large-scaled carnival in order to support D&S and 7 other non-governmental organisations. </div>
<div>
<br />
Dignity & Services was offered a booth which functioned both as an information booth as well as to sell products made from Bake With Dignity as part of our contribution to the carnival. We sold herb bread loaves, Salted caramel fudge brownies, Fudge brownies, Durian loaves, Pandan loaves, Chempedak cake loaves, Coffee walnut cookies, Cranberry cookies and Pineapple tarts. Within a few hours, all our baked goods were sold out and that feeling of accomplishment truly overwhelmed us!<br />
<br />
Once we were done with our responsibilities, we had time to enjoy the carnival. Although all our members have families that they return to at the end of the program, not many are able to enjoy luxuries such as going to a carnival or being a part of a large community gathering. This may be due to varied reasonable circumstances. Thus, this was a beautiful opportunity truly cherished by all of them. Nicholas and Keat Lai enjoyed trying out all different food available, Onn enjoyed the drums played during the Lion dance, Tiong thoroughly enjoyed all the dance performances while dancing to the beat with his own steps and Foustina, the latest addition to the D&S Team enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the carnival which was very different from the atmosphere back in Sabah.<br />
<br />
Thank you MagnumCares for your support through the years and for this memorable experience that we will keep with us for a long time to come. Although we did not manage to take many pictures, here are a few pictures of our booth and our group pictures.<br />

On the 22nd of August, Ivy was invited to Full Gospel Assembly to share about Dignity and Services and the programs we offer. The talk was attended by members of the FGA Parents Support Group for parents with children having learning disabilities. Taking this as a good opportunity for self-advocacy, all full-time D&S members attended the event together with Ivy and Helen and we got to meet many parents and their children who had learning disabilities just like us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ivy shared about our history, our current projects and our future aspirations. She then invited Ee Hunt to come up and share his experience with D&S and Ee Hunt shared a very heartfelt sharing about his journey thus far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a new and special experience and we hope to be able to meet with many more communities of persons with learning disabilities and their families to share our experience and learn from one another.</div>

Here are a few pictures of the event. </div>

Less than a month ago, as a joint effort by the different departments in Paypal Malaysia, staff came together to hold a small fundraiser in support of Dignity & Services. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They very graciously opened their doors to us having a Buka Puasa Bazaar right at their pantry. Small boutique owners sold dresses, sarees and accesories, other staff made home-cooked chicken curry and other delicacies that were all sold out. We were even offered a stall to sell our Bake with Dignity cakes and cookies!</div>

OPTIONS is a supported living program run by Dignity & Services with the aim of teaching adults with learning disabilities basic life skills. This concept is based on clear values to help us recognize ourselves as unique individuals capable of making life choices and living independently. These skills are essential especially when our parents or primary caregivers are no longer with us. Options 1 was started in the year 2006 with only 6 members but has since grown to house many more individuals.<br />
Options 2 was opened in July 2012 with the aim of expanding the reach of the Options program to more individuals with learning disabilities. Despite minor setbacks through the years, Options 2 is now up and going with 6 members joining our program weekly. We are a small group of individuals who come together over the weekend for our overnight stay program. Here we decide for ourselves what we would like to eat, go out grocery shopping to buy all the ingredients, wash, cut and cook meals together, wipe and clean up after we're done, wash our bathrooms and vacuum and mop the floor in our Options home, discuss current affairs and the going-ons in the country, visit places of interest, and go for morning exercises. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Options 2 moves at a much slower pace than Options 1. This is important in order to allow us, as individuals to learn and develop without pressure, to learn how to communicate with our peers in our own ways (not necessarily through verbal communication) and to support ourselves and one another in completing daily tasks. Friendships made here are very different from friendships formed outside. We use touch and gestures to communicate, our faces light up at the sight of another friend arriving for the program, </div>

On the 2nd of April, five of us participated in the #wespeakcode workshop Organised by Microsoft Malaysia in collaboration with UNICEF. #Wespeakcode is a global effort by Microsoft to teach students how the computer works by exposing them to coding, giving them a better understanding of how softwares, apps and websites are made. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were thought using two different gaming program where the trainers went through the whole process by guiding us step-by-step. It was truly and educational and fun day for us all!</div>

Lists of these behaviors make a diagnosis. I have limited independence in selfcare. I have limited eye contact. I have flat affect often. I can’t express my ideas verbally. I have poor fine motor control. I have impaired initiation. I have impaired gross motor control. I have difficulty controlling intense emotions. I have impulse control challenges and self stimulatory behavior.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whew. When I write that it sounds pretty bad, but I function adequately in this world. I am now 17 and I am a fulltime high school student in a general education program. I am in Honors Chemistry, Honors US History and Honors English. I am in Algebra 2, Spanish and Animal Sciences. I get straight As. I work out with a trainer 2 or 3 times a week to get fit. I study piano. I hike, cook, and help take care of a horse. I am invited to speak at universities and autism agencies. I am the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ido-Autismland-Climbing-Autisms-Silent/dp/0988324709/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390458886&sr=1-1&keywords=ido+in+autismland" target="_blank"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #2288bb;">Ido in Autismland</span></i></a>, and a blogger as well. I have friends.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I say this, not to brag, but to let you know that people like me, with severe autism, who act weirdly and who can’t speak, are not less human, as Dr. Lovaas suggested, and are not doomed to live lives of rudimentary information and bored isolation<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/autism/la-me-autism-day-one-html,0,1218038.htmlstory#ixzz2tWwMPs7m" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2288bb;">.( “You have a person in a physical sense — they have hair, a nose and a mouth — but they are not people in the psychological sense,” the late Ivar Lovaas, a UCLA researcher, said in a 1974 interview with Psychology Today).</span></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border-image: none; border: currentColor; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I communicate by typing on an iPad with an app that has both word prediction and voice output. I also<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>communicate by using good, old-fashioned letterboard pointing. If I had not been taught to point to letters or to type without tactile support, many people would never have realized that my mind was intact.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My childhood was not easy because I had no means to communicate at all, despite my 40 hours a week of intensive ABA therapy. I pointed to flashcards and I touched my nose, but I had no means to convey that I thought deeply, understood everything, but was locked internally. Meticulously collected data showed my incorrect answers to flashcard drills, but the limitations of theory are in the interpretations.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My mistakes were proof to my instructors of my lack of comprehension or intelligence, so we did the same boring, baby lessons year after boring year. How I dreamed of being able to communicate the truth then to my instructors and my family too, but I had no way to express my ideas. All they gave me was the ability to request foods and basic needs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here is what I would have told them if I could have when I was small. My body isn’t under my mind’s complete control. I know the right answer to these thrilling flashcards, unfortunately my hand isn’t fully under my control either. My body is often ignoring my thoughts. I look at my flashcards. You ask me to touch ‘tree,’ for example, and though I can clearly differentiate between tree, house, boy and whatever cards you have arrayed, my hand doesn’t consistently obey me. My mind is screaming, “Don’t touch house!” It goes to house. Your notes say, “Ido is frustrated in session today.” Yes, frustration often occurs when you can’t show your intelligence and neurological forces impede communication between mind and body and experts then conclude that you are not cognitively processing human speech.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my childhood I feared I would remain stuck forever in this horrible trap, but I was truly fortunate to be freed when I was 7 when my mother realized my mind was intact, and both my parents searched to find a way to help me communicate without tactile support.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thousands of autistic people like me live life in isolation and loneliness, denied education, condemned to baby talk and high fives, and never able to express a thought. The price of assuming that nonverbal people with autism have impaired thinking is a high one to families and to people who live in solitary confinement within their own bodies. It is high time professionals rethought their theories.<br />

My high school has an old farm because it has a magnet program for intensive studies in veterinary science and agriculture. It is really nice because the students care for the animals. Over vacation we have to feed them. There are rabbits, hens, sheep, goats, a horse and a llama. The goats are intelligent and eager to escape to eat leaves. They have the same lock the sheep have on their pen. The sheep can’t open it but the goats open it with ease. To stay in, they require an additional chain and clasp lock and if it isn’t on just right, they escape.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today was my turn to feed, water, clean and exercise the animals (that is, I exercise and clean the horse and feed and water the rest). We went to give the goats fresh water and in a flash they opened the gate and rushed out to eat leaves. They group up and run away and resist you too so it can be a struggle to get them back in, and the first ones you catch only want to escape to get back to the leaves and their friends.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was watching this because I was with my mom who asked me to help her with the gate. I am able to do everything I need to do, more or less, but it felt frustrating today because I saw that I still react so slowly in a moment that required speed. I knew I needed to move fast because she had a goat at the gate and didn’t want to lock up the gate completely since there were more she had to put back in the pen. They struggle to get back to their leaves with great intensity and it is a pain to hold a struggling goat with one hand and fumble with a lock with the other.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Autism is an initiation disorder too. I see where I should go and I stay frozen. Doing new tasks is tough because our bodies need to learn the steps. The steps in this moment would be clear to a neuro-typical body, but not to mine. Though my mind knew what to do, it just wasn’t ready to react in time. This is frustrating personally, but perhaps even worse is that our difficulty initiating certain responses confuses many specialists who then assume we don’t understand logic and basic problem solving.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It isn’t the thinking that’s the problem. It is the ability to react and follow our thoughts that we struggle with. I see my skills have improved, because eventually I got to the gate and held it against goats pushing with all their might to escape again. In the end, we got them all back in. Maybe next time we should let them out on purpose so I can get more practice reacting to emergency situations more quickly</div>

<span>Learn and Earn</span><br /><br /><span>------------------------------------------</span><br /><span>By Pang Hin Yue, facilitator of Bake With Dignity</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>FOR 10 days, noise, heat, grease and sweat mingled together. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>The cacophony from the whirring of electrical hand mixers and fans and the buzzing of a relatively new industrial oven, competed with the </span><br /><span>constant pounding from the MRT works just outside the house numbered 49, Pinggir Zaaba in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>But it was energy and time well spent as it brought smiles and a sense of accomplishment to the members of Dignity and Services, an advocacy movement working with and for people with learning disabilities. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>From10am-5pm daily, under the supervision of D&S staff and volunteers, they creamed, rolled and baked over 7,000 chocolate, butter and coffee cookies. After they packed and sealed the cookies into boxes, they went on to melt, stir and bake over 152 trays of salted caramel fudge brownies. They repeated the feat of creaming and baking with another 150 orange lemon cakes. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>While melting chocolate over a double boiler was a job they were familiar with, it was a new task melting sugar to reach a temperature of 167 degrees Celcius and adding butter and cream into the hot bubbly sugar to caramelise. It demands precise timing and patience. Otherwise the mixture literally goes up in smoke. Sure enough there were a few batches </span><br /><span>botched up that had to be thrown away but in the end, all was well. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>The bakers who go by the moniker Bake With Dignity, have Ms Teh</span><br /><span>Lip Kim, managing director of Selangor Dredging Bhd to thank for the opportunity to learn and earn.</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>This is the fourth year SDB has enlisted D&S members to bake cookies and cakes as year-end gifts to the tenants of Wisma Selangor Dredging in Jalan Ampang.</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>It is gratifying to see the progress bakers have made and are still making, as they gain mastery in the processes involved to make cookies and cakes. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>The journey of learning applies equally to the bakers as well as the staff and volunteers behind Bake With Dignity. Truly a work-in-progress. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>It is more than sourcing quality ingredients and developing delectable flavours to attract customers. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>It is about how to ensure the steps are followed through, taking into account that the learning disability spectrum is broad and varied and therefore, challenging. That includes people with a diagnosis of slow learning, Down Syndrome and autism. </span><br /><span></span><br /><span>Because their motor skills and learning capacity are different and with behavioural issues thrown in the mix, the ultimate quest is getting them to work together.</span><br /><span></span><br /><span>As the recently concluded baking marathon demonstrated, it can be done. There was no shortage of camaraderie, laughter and blooper.
