Pusat Pertuturan Kiu

About Pusat Pertuturan Kiu

Pusat Pertuturan Kiu is a speech and communication centre in Taman Maluri, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. It works with children who have hearing difficulties and related communication needs, teaching them through the Kiu method, a cued speech approach adapted to Bahasa Malaysia in the 1980s to help learners with hearing problems develop spoken language.

Pusat Pertuturan Kiu has roots in the deaf community’s education efforts and operates as a non-governmental organisation rather than a commercial school. Over time the centre has extended its Kiu speech method to children with autism where the approach suits their needs, broadening the range of learners it can support.

Programmes and support at Pusat Pertuturan Kiu

Pusat Pertuturan Kiu centres its work on the Kiu (cued speech) method, a teaching and learning approach designed for children with hearing difficulties. The method gives learners visual cues that support the development of speech and language, helping children who do not acquire spoken language in the usual way.

Beyond its core work with hearing needs, Pusat Pertuturan Kiu has applied the Kiu approach to children with autism according to their suitability. As a small non-governmental centre, it works closely with each child and family. Parents are encouraged to contact the centre to understand the current programme, and may also compare other special needs schools when weighing their options.

Fees at Pusat Pertuturan Kiu

Pusat Pertuturan Kiu operates as a non-governmental organisation. Centres of this kind in Malaysia commonly run on subsidised, donation-supported, or modest fees rather than commercial rates, since their purpose is to widen access for families who need specialised support.

There is no fixed published fee, and arrangements can depend on a family’s circumstances and the support a child needs. Families should contact Pusat Pertuturan Kiu at 03-92867574 to ask about the current fee and any assistance that may be available.

Enrolment at Pusat Pertuturan Kiu

Enrolment at Pusat Pertuturan Kiu is arranged directly with the centre. Families with a child who has hearing, speech, or communication needs can call to ask about availability and whether the Kiu method would suit their child.

A phone call to 03-92867574 is the best first step to arrange a visit and meet the teaching staff. A visit lets parents see how the centre works and discuss their child’s needs before a place is confirmed, which matters for an approach as specific as cued speech.
