the school name is \"Modern Montessori International\" in short. MMI.

Seriously, I don't have good opinion of mmi, as most of them engage trainee teachers (ie. those currently undergoing courses), as main teachers.

But some branches may be ok. So it really depend on the branch itself. You can visit the branch, talk to the principal to get the details yourself.

http://Www..what is vowels mean ? Yr son speak in sentences , may I ask any example of sentences ? Is it few variety of sentences ?

My son can do school work too. He is able to trace , color n draw..

Which area does the doctor see yr son that he is ASD?

Just only the social part?

Vowels mean the alphabets sound.

My child does speak in full sentences as in \"lets play together\", \"I want to drink milk\".

Doc said cannot maintain eye contact, few second my child looks else where. And social only able to communicate better with adults.

Is only MILD autism.

does you son know how to answer simple questions?

did u see nugget son's psy questions, is he able to answer this? nugget 3yo child is able to answer all questions..

i trying to see which areas ...for me my son main issue now is communication. he does not hav social issue, he play with his peers and try to make conversation...

his has good eye contacts...when he ask or answer question he will look at the person... he pay attention to teacher during circle times.. he can queue up during toilet breaks or handing up worksheets..

my son too can speak in sentences but only during requesting. but when come to answer questions he is trying to reply in sentences now.. and always answer correctly...

maybe if you son jus has social issue and eye contact, u try working with him at home for these... ask him to maintain eye contacts , teach him how to be social..

my son is naturally social with his peers... eye contact initially not spontaneously but has eye contact but now is spontaneously..

You are expecting too much from a young child. The question \"what is a dog?\" requires very abstract thinking. I expect you didn't ask that. If you asked \"what is that?\" pointing to a dog, it still requires abstract thinking to realise that it is a member of the class 'dog'. Your 2nd example shows that your child is thinking, so even if he didn't give you the answer you expected, you should give him credit for it. And there seems to be no problem with his speech.

We know my child has no problem with speech except to pronounce much clearer for others to understand. Basically we only take the doctor advice with a pinch of salt. My child has a smaller group my child classified as \"friends\" in CC. Does not like to play with every children.

I like my child as my child learns things very fast. Teach already, can recognize after 2-3 times repeated most of the times, the cons is \"bad\" influence things also learn very fast. Time table also follow. :rahrah: I create a time table and easy to manage my child to learn. No tantrum made. I just have to say look at the time table, today learn what? Child just follow smoothly.
