Double E:
Something new that I have noticed in my boy
Imaginary play
- he finally displays some of them. Now he will take two figurines (we pass it to him) and pretend them to be the characters in a book he read. Then he will narrate \"Ben and bella are waiting for the bus\", \"The bus is here\", \"Ben and Bella are taking the bus\", it may be just echoing what he read, but at least, he will move the figurines like make them walk and take bus. He was never able to do that last time
Negotiation
Previously, when we asked him to stop playing and go to bed, he will protest and throw tantrums and we will tell him he has another 5mins. Now when we ask him to stop playing, he will say \"mommy, give me 5 more mins\". Though he will still throw a bit of tantrum when we eventually ask him to stop after 5mins, but am just glad that he can contextualise what we do to him and use it on us.
His OT just asked us today if we want to start music therapy on him at home which I have been procrastinating. Cos I am a FTWM, I worry that I can't find the time to do it consistently at home. Has anyone of you try music therapy at home?
my son also surprise me recently, ask him to keep toys, he say \"cannot\".. because i been telling him cannot this cannot tat...
he iso learn how to be bossy this days.. ask me open door, ask me come here. ask me on the light, ask me off the light, ask me come down.. i sooo bz
for Imaginary play, i never read books to my son at all.
so he only know how to see real life example & pretend play :(.. example, he will take a figurer to put on the motorcycle or car and place a tree beside it a move along just like at road side..
hiaz. how i wish my son is at your son level now..
about drawing & coloring.. does your son like Coloring & drawing? my son draw & color a lot... -

The ST gave me a list of schools including childcares which may consider kids with special needs. They include the following among the rest:helplessmum3:
Mashy, you mean MMI?
800++/mth i can't afford.
- TOUCH Childcare (Hougang/Clementi);
- Mother Goose (Jalan Halijah in Bedok);
- Presbyterian Community Services (various locations)
The above ones looks more affordable than Eton, which is also in the list :evil:
thanks Fizz i will check them out. -

mashy:
oh manz, this is tough.. i still very confuse... with my limited resources...
When u add up all the therapists also a lot leh. For myself, I rather see lesser therapists and better sch environment. Reason being that he is exposed to it everyday. That's where he learns to behave like any other kid and it's much more important than therapies. I rather see less freq therapies and apply what I learned from them at home.helplessmum3:

800++/mth i can't afford.
i have stopped all CDU (kKh) therapist already.. they are just SUCKS!! waste my time taking leave & to & fro...then see my son barely one hr, not works with him but jus assess him.!! -
helplessmum3:
Why did they ask for proof? My boy's sch never asked for it.mashy,
i have no choice, when my son attend cc, they P already ask me to get proof to say my son is NT kid. :(.. so get go KKH CDU. SUCKS place!!! we pay subsidize amount but the workers there get pay specialist amount u know, waste our GOVT money for sub price.!!! -
mashy:
you mean you hv problem getting inssurance now?
I wonder if like that discharge, next time for insurance, by right we can declare he's been discharged already right? Then they can treat him as 'normal' case? -
i think maybe why kkh-cdu keep records separately cos they want to maintain the confidentiality of the patients. as long as we choose not to delcare it, the rest of the kkh doctors in the other dept, other hospital, insurance company etc wont be able to get hold of it.

U have been complaining about how badly they treated your son but u still continued letting him stay there. They are unwilling to have your son as their student so likely they won't put their heart and soul into helping him.
Then u refused kkh subsidized therapies too.
Are u spending all on private therapies? U should work within your income. Quality daily care is so much more important than the therapies.
Sometimes I'm also very confused by you.
