Seri Mengasih Centre is a special developmental centre located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia providing a comprehensive range of training programmes for the intellectually and developmentally disabled and services for their families.
It was established in 1981 as the first special school in the state of Sabah for children whose special requirements could not be met in mainstream schools. It was a project initiated by a group of volunteers in collaboration with the Sabah Mental Health Association and established by a Board of Management.
Seri Mengasih seeks to raise the hope and dignity of the intellectually and developmentally disabled by providing for their holistic development from the earliest age until, as far as possible, they have achieved socio-economic independence and are successfully included and integrated into the mainstream of community life. This can only be done through the combined effort of the staff, parents and the general public.
