All About Autism

[ImMeeMee]

Thanks mummies for your kind concern.


Yes did enquire about church kindergarten but the timing was not right. I don’t think I have a chiltern near my house n vicinity is also one key consideration for us due to logistics needs.

Immeemee,


i hold on to the current cc while trying out the trials. i will postpone rainbow.. let my son try a small size classroom in normal cc first. if he survive, i think life skill i can teach him at home.. also EPIC at rainbow use PECS, my son cant related tis .. i worried fall back cuz my son is very verbal now.

also because of current cc cost, i cant afford rainbow..

at rainbow everying is very structure , they use E-step... no good!

so example, if my son can write free hand, why mus he die die mus use stacils to write.. its thier top down teaching, so cant helpit kind.. they are trying to cater for all special needs kids...

Not all EIPIC centres use PECS n follow the same structure like Rainbow. some centres are more flexible n mix autistic n non autistic children together. You can check out with CEL.

Uh? I did not know. But y rainbow has the higher wait list ?


I thought all cel eipic are the same.

Ok I will cel to check.

Thanks

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. 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 sentences

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.

ya mine reading is also ok. mine already can trace and write with assistance. copying still got problem. thinking of signing him for art class to practise his fine motor skills

[nugget]

where is British council and is it expensive??
