Hi Niu2009,


ARC is an eipic. You need to see either a private or govt developmental physician to write a referral to SgEnable to queue up for ARC enrollment.

Many parents request that their child to be placed in group / classroom learning contexts. However, to be effective, groups must be highly structured and take into account the individual learning needs of the child with autism.


Simply being placed in a classroom does not guarantee learning for a young child with autism. Children are best matched according to their personalities, skills, and needs.

Successful classroom learning is often characterised by highly motivating activities for individual learners; visual structure so that learning is visually clear and meaningful; and increased positive social experiences with adults and peers in meaningful contexts.

Hi mommies and 1 daddy,


Brought my son for an interview with the Principal at the new pre-school and was accepted.

On Thursday night when I brought my daughter out separately to get a costume for her school speech and drama. My husband brought my son to the playground and he actually joined a older boy in play for more than 10 minutes and kept saying ‘again’ to the gor gor to enact his silly antics and imitated him in every move! I am impressed as all along, we do see him imitate/follow other kids in playground antics before but never so long!

And he's only 2 year old! who knows, maybe by the time u actually get him diagnosed, they will tell u he isn't ASD after all?
