All About Autism

[Double E]

The cost is for group. there will be one teacher to two kids. I think each class max 7 to 8 kids. I actually wanted one to one but is even more ex. For one to one, 1 hr is $100 and min. 2 hours per session! And have to do it every week which means each mth is $800!!


The director of the centre told me to take up group. Is more cost effective and apart from academic , they will start to infuse behaviour norms to the kids modelling a mainstream pri school setting. Eg. training them to raise their hands if they want to speak etc. I think is good for parents who want to let their kids try out mainstream.

Also, all the teachers have a psychologist degree. I guess u pay for the quality and seriously, we can’t compare price with the normal tuition centres because our kids are special and we need trained teachers who know how to manage them and bring the best out of them.

Sure, I will share more if i decide to take up their programme. I am likely to let my boy try out during the june holidays.

My DS is there for both English and Math. 3 lessons for each subject so far. So far, English has 3 other kids and it’s only him for math. Obviously he prefers the one with more kids cos during break time, they can play together.

Hi bbmom,


Hopefully in the very near future you will come to this thread and tell us worried parents that your son’s results have improved leap and bound!

[bb_ mom]

Certainly hope so. Expensive place but worth it if it actually helps him.

Hi parents,


Recently was reading a book and come across this sentence ’ birth is life’s first lottery ticket’. It gives me food for thought as I feel that although our darlings come to us with ‘special condition’ but at the very least life had dealt them a good lottery ticket - US! Parents like us who acknowledge their ‘problems’, who read up and work with them and support them with our love! Salute to all the hardworking parents in this thread!

Hi Kitty2,


Perhaps you can ask your friend to join us in this thread? Like you said, your friend is feeling lost and frustrated with her son's situation, even if we can't offer solutions, we can offer our emotional support. Whatever her son's condition, the journey will be tough, that much I can tell you.

Unfortunately,she doesn't understand English so I am just helping her to find out more about her son's problem.

At some point in time when you start to find that your child's special needs become part of the family's baseline, and that things start to normalize after that, you may realize during certain times that life can be quite beautiful despite the challenges that we constantly face. Its a gift that I find both peculiar and precious.

Cheers.

Hi ImMeeMee,

I know exactly what you are saying! I hope I can reach that stage soon and accept whatever diagnosis my son will be given eventually!

If the child do well at Pathlight -

they can recommend the child to go mainstream school.
