Thanks for sharing, August22! I work closely with The Gifted Lab. Would you mind elaborating on what your friend's experience was like? I could pass on the feedback to them.
My friend went there.

Hi,
Has anyone engaged child psychologist Dr Wilson Chan or used the Gifted Lab @ Balmoral Plaza for ADHD assessment or full cognitive test? Charges sound more reasonable than others but not sure the level of accuracy.
Does anyone have a child with ADD( day-dreamer type)? Would you be able to share your experience or get in touch with me? I think my DD is in this category and have been reading a lot on this and am very confused at the moment. Many of the posts here shared experiences with ADHD( with hyperactivity).
Appreciate your valuable input on the above. Thanks!

There are a lot of parameters to find out whether the child has ADHD or not. If you consult a psychologist they have these testing methods to find out.

Does anyone in this forum have a recommendation for Math tutor for a P3 going P4 ADD boy? DS is very poor in Maths, struggles to understand it but we do not know if he has a learning difficulty specific to Math.
Also I saw Olive Tree, The Gifted Lab and DAS International offers specialised tutor. Anyone has experience with these? -
Children with ADHD may also struggle with low self-esteem, troubled relationships and poor performance in school. Symptoms sometimes lessen with age. However, some people never completely outgrow their ADHD symptoms. But they can learn strategies to be successful. Need Any help with an expert: https://zealthy.in/en/ask-an-expert

ADHD is a neurological disorder and not a behavioural problem. It is not caused by bad parenting, too much sugar intake, nor too much games. The kids find it hard to focus on things and easily forget which makes it hard for them to finish their tasks. They can’t manage their time and keep losing their things, like pencil, eraser, their student card.

If identified & diagnosed in early childhood, cannot be trained with support fr family to train the habit of discipline & focus?

On the other hand, even with a neurological cause, training and support can help build good habits and reduce the issues, at least to some extent. The person will always have more difficulty that others, but reducing the effects will help them cope with life better.

Medication combined with therapy is the optimal treatment of ADHD in children. But the medication alone is also effective and more recommended for the treatment. Of course, the family is their first and main therapists. Therefore, supportive parents also play an important role to improve their behaviours

As someone with ADHD experiences in church, school and home, I find intelligent and hyperactive kids wrongly labelled as ADHD ‘possibilities’. Having taught in SEN-focussed Primary Schools, I am glad for well-trained educators, AEDs and a better system than before to diagnose properly a child for any special needs.
As such, I have decided to start writing about my personal experiences, in the local context of Singapore. As a teacher myself, and often now as an adjunct teacher supporting kids with special needs, I realised that to be blatantly frank, if a child is not interested in my lesson, then I don’t blame the kid but myself for not being able to engage the kid. Bark up the wrong tree and I have only myself to blame. Admit that I have not reflected sufficiently about what goes on in my lessons, and I often come up with better engaging lesson plans whether my kids have special educational or behavioural needs or not.
As for the use of drugs, please research thoroughly. Don’t point to other countries that developed the drugs. These countries are now realising the long term harmful results that these drugs, if wrongly or correctly diagnosed and administered in a prolonged fashion, can harm the consumers. The best medicine to give the child is love, acceptance, self-acceptance and control, and the ‘I can do it’ confidence, SEN or none.
