All About Autism

[Karkar]

mashy:

U can just insist on getting an allergy test done. Mine was based on rashes and asthma. Also quite far removed but the doctor simply agreed. U can get a referral from the allergy clinic doctor for the rehab OT and ST. U can say his speech is slow and gross motor skills (or fine motor etc) is delayed. Then they will refer u to see the rehab side. Remember to ask for rehab specifically. If they offer CDU, turn it down, ask them to go rehab coz 'faster'.

Yes, rehab is not part of the Eipic. They are different departments. Eipic is run by kkh CDU. If u wanna send your kid to Eipic, then u can go thru CDU but that will also mean getting your child assessed. In rehab, they will assess only based on age appropriate skills and not whether they have ADHD/autism etc.

mashy and other mummies,

have you tried – The Hanen Program for Parents in KKH rehab? more than words seem quite good. If i get to see doc in Rehab, i will ask for subsidized rate for this program.

Kar Kar,

How I got into KKH rehab was through this course. I expressed interests in attending this course and a SLT called me. She told me she need to access my child to see if he is suitable for his course or not.

After assessment, the SLT found that it will not be useful for me to attend this course as my boy is verbal. However, they ask me if I am interested in going for their SLT Therapy instead. Of cos I am interested. That's how I got into KKH Rehab SLT. Hope this helps.

Try enrolling for the course and see where it leads you.

that's a good coincidence. are you enjoying subsidized rate then?
wont' they ask you if your child is verbal over the phone before face to face assessment?

Yup I am paying subsidized rate cos my son is also with CDU and is a regular patient of KKH.


They did ask me few qn abt my son but still wanna assess him before recommending me for the course. The course is not cheap and it last few days. So I am glad they did the assessment.

I just brought my doter to the KKH Rehab for OT a few days ago. I asked about services availability for children beyond 7 yo. Therapist informed that Rehab will continue to see patients beyond 7 yo. But they have recently introduced a new policy where patients need to go for doctor’s review after every 5-6 therapy sessions.


Anyone has heard about this?

Structure learning is said to be good for teaching ASD kids. In fact for most EIPIC centres, they will adopt a structure learning programme for ASDs.

Why are u so worried about?

So meaning the doctor will assess and see any improvement at regular improvement from 3rd party perspective? Else why would they want to see?
