          Because there is a higher demand and not enough therapists. It depends on where u go for the therapies too. I’m at kkh rehab and we can get an appt every 3 weeks. Once I even got it at once every week. I think kkh rehab also provides eipic services. Maybe u can check. Kkh CDC and kkh rehab are different units, they don’t even share e same patient file. I think kkh CDC is by HPB coz the address on the appt card is different and they insist I use a different appt card while kkh rehab is under kkh.

                  Maybe you can check with your therapist what you can do at home with your child every day? Like tuition, the child also needs to study on his own. Just 1 hr a week won't be enough....
                  Stay positive 🙂

                    Actually once a week is pretty good unless u have mountains of money. This applies even in other countries. I think they are really trying to help already with a once a week appointment. And u must also remember that children’s attention span is very short. 1 hr is the norm. Usually they will give a list of things for u to practise at home. Yes, like what Lavina said, it’s like tuition. U still need to work on it at home. Like those learning piano or any musical instrument, u can’t expect them to know how to play just by simply attending the weekly session without practice. U gotta practise everyday at home. No point if u go to the centre and practise the same skill everyday. That’s wasting your money. It’s better to do it at your own home. In this world, we gotta help ourselves too. We cannot expect pp to spoon feed us. Therapy is not a school. So we shouldn’t be expecting them to be regular like a school.

                        i work with my son every second & mins, whenever i have the chance i will take the chance to do it.. example, if things drop, i say OOps, pick up. or ask him tosay pick up things like tat.. if i still depend on them ah.. i think hor...my son wont go this far already...

                        without therapists help , we home teach just by myself & hubby now.. every day and every single time we with him...

                        like i say, 1hr is jus a warm up session u noe.. really. u try to go in with the therapis when u thre
