Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurocognitive condition that is often seen in young children and impacts a variety of developmental elements, including impairments in social interaction, recurrence of certain behavioural patterns, and issues with verbal and non-verbal communication. These young people frequently struggle with self-management issues and need on the help of their family and communities. The individual is typically taught autonomous chores such as taking care of personal hygiene (bathing, cleaning equipment, etc.) and cleaning their living area by autism treatment centres, particularly in Malaysia. It's critical to acquire life skills, such as the capacity to work, in addition to one's capacity for self-management, to prevent becoming a burden to one's family and society. These other equally significant parts of life, such as entrepreneurial abilities, are not addressed. In order to build entrepreneurial skills and provide job experience for high-functioning autistic children, this project aims to create modules based on cognitive and psychomotor learning. It also conducts entrepreneurial simulations and tests the participants' knowledge of the field. The success of this entrepreneurship programme will be evaluated using observational and focus group discussion (FGD) approaches. The accompanying instructors and student volunteers will get training for trainers to ensure the success of this module. There are four sections to this module: Training for training, business simulation, business implementation, and effectiveness assessment are the first four steps. The expected outcome of this project is to create a module for high-functioning autistic young people that focuses on cognitive and psychomotor-based entrepreneurship abilities. Additionally, it is anticipated that this module will aid in preventing autism sufferers from experiencing long-term poverty, particularly those who belong to lower-income households.

Abstract

The community in Kota Bharu, particularly the asnaf group, plays a crucial role in improving their quality of life. They possess the capacity to act as agents of change in reducing poverty within their community. This study aims to explore how these agents implement strategies to enhance economic and social well-being through community development projects, using Bandura’s theory of agency as a theoretical framework. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews with participants to examine their business plans and monitor the outcomes of their entrepreneurial projects. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and were supervised over a period of time to assess their level of community development. The findings indicate that community members are able to apply Bandura’s agency framework in mitigating poverty within their communities. By adapting a development module based on the four components of Bandura’s agency, participants successfully improved their well-being and contributed to sustainable economic development. Furthermore, this study identifies several critical phases essential for ensuring the continuity of their efforts in overcoming future business challenges. Ultimately, the study aligns with the first United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 1) by contributing to poverty alleviation among marginalized populations.
