| description | The concept of providing special education services to the children with medical needs is relatively a new
project in Malaysia. The study found that during children’s recovering process in any medical centre, their
education should not be overlooked as the hospitalized children and young people still need learning activities
to maintain a sense of normality in the hospital environment. This study is aimed to investigate spatial
requirement to prevent hospitalized children from lagging behind in their studies while undergoing long
treatment in hospitals. The lessons must be addressed while the children are under treatments, as it influences
the children’s academic future. Bevertheless, this study focuses on examining spatial requirements of existing
schools in hospitals, in Malaysia. The study finds that the educational place for the children should be provided
based on their age ranges which are preschool, primary school, and secondary school, to fulfill the children’s
needs of continuous lessons. Overall, this paper intends to highlight the needs of proper learning place and
spatial requirements for future improvement to the existing school in hospital for the education of children with
medical needs in Malaysia. |
