All About Autism

[nugget]

Thanks Double E,


$60 per hour is way out of my budget. I am looking for normal class session. Like 6-8 kids type. And I was hoping my #2 can join in too.

And yes because of the \"special needs\" tag, the fees are also higher than normal swimming lessons. The one I got was Edward who was really patient although he was too much of a nice guy and my boys bullied him. But at least they learnt enough to tread water and stay afloat. Still open to continuing when they are older and more willing to listen to instructions.

Totally advocate this activity for kids, the benefits are tremendous as said eloquently by tabgha.

Thanks Belachanbabe,

There are some coaches there that charge normal price in this list. I will try to find those that allows my #2 to join as well. I hope the 2 kids can learn together.

botakgundul,


Thank you once again for the detailed write up.

Yup I have authorized KKH to release all documents (Psychological reports, Medical Reports, IQ test reports) to the school.

On top of this, I have also send the AEDs the \"School readiness\" report as well.

I have already reached out to the AEDs and will share all your pointers with the AEDs as well. I hope he will meet a nice buddy in class. Right now in his mainstream CC, he also have this buddy who always look out for him. But too bad they are not enrolled in the same school.

May all our kids keep meeting kind souls along the way.

No problem. I'm glad that you find it useful. Let us helping each other... Cheers!
