Mine also hates writing. For the first half of this yr in pri, the teachers had difficulty getting him started on his school work. He will only write nos for Chinese lessons and refused to do English writing. So end up school work became homework. We did many things to motivate him, also caned and punished him. Finally he came to his senses in Term 3.My son is in Metta preschool. Not all kids there are ASD.

Now he's doing his work independently. His teacher is also so proud of him. Reading is not an issue for him though.

Even can read and write, may still be tough. My son has no issues with both but he can’t form a proper sentence structure let alone create a simple story. So I’m very worried for him when it comes to composition. P1-2 still ok but P3 onwards would be really hard. Very concern. So now I try to make him do copy work. Since he’s
Memory is good, hopefully as he copies he remembers the sentences and perhaps learn to tweak them and use them in future. -

My boy is also having problem with composition, so much so that his school teacher has to give him special concession i.e more time and with prompt in order to complete his test. I have spoken to his speech and language therapist, who told me the only way now is for him to memorize short sentencesEven can read and write, may still be tough.

That’s why I sent my boy to British council, hopefully to improve his comprehension and composition skills. So far not too bad, he had been able to write sentences and even attempted to spell those that he didn’t know.

They have a few branches. Tampines, Toa Payoh, downtown dunno where. Quite ex. Next yr paying $190+ per mth after discount. And it follows moe calendar so if sch hol, they also hol. No make up classes either. But I find it more challenging for my boy lah. And also interesting. He likes it very much altho he's the slowest to finish any class work. -
mummies,
what is exactly "life skill" means to our special needs child?
i still if i did the right things tat i postpone my son rainbow intake? -

What is ur reason for delaying to rainbow? To me proper early intervention is more impt than getting the right cchild care. I know you are having your difficulties and felt strongly that KKH, hpb therapist are useless and waste of your time...mummies,

If you dun try rainbow, then I hope u are reading enough and spending enough 1-1 therapy time with him..
I personally feel my son ASD symptoms seems very obvious near from 3.5 years old till now. Kids can walk up to him and ask him \"what are u playing on your iPod\", my son can totally ignore that person...
I feel no doubt the quality of early intervention can help the child, the quantity of it helps too... I feel the people in KKH spend that hour accessing our child each session is reasonable, so they can advise where the gaps are and how we can work on it at home. Unless you can afford to hv pte therapy every 2x -3x every week, otherwise it's very much on your own practice at home. There is no cheap, good and effective therapy. All are tears, sweat and hardwork.
Just make the best out of your current situation. If I am you, I would opt for rainbow cos that's is where the programs will truly help your son..
But if you can't afford the time, money etc.. Then no choice.
