Hi couragemom,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.
Thanks a lot! I thought ARC is in pathlight. -

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! -

Hi Mashy,
To the psychologist’s point of view, playing with sibling and older children are not counted as social interaction, must be peers. He does imitate his friends in his playgroup sometimes and join in for rough-and-tumble play such as seesaw, tunnel play etc (seems like physical play like this type also not counted by the psychologist). But thanks for the kind thought! -

I think for sibling yes, not counted. But for older children also not considered social interaction? If that child didn't have a wide age gap, I think it should be within. The one they are referring to is probably with adults and teenagers.Hi Mashy,

If not almost all kids are considered ASD already.
Anyway, I think mother knows best. You know when the behavior is a little off and what is normal. I have never for once doubted that my girl is NT even though she is temperamental and has her mood swings. Whereas for my boy, he was quirky from the start and it's difficult to have a proper two way conversation. -

The ability to imitate is the start of all things good, IMHO and in my boy's case. Congrats!Hi mommies and 1 daddy,
