Why childcare with iccp programs are less compassionate about the special need kids than mainstream childcare?
In course of 3 years we are turned down by 4 childcare with iccp program and accepted by normal childcare. It is not like parents want to jump from childcare to childcare but for us we are shifting home, so it don’t make sense to drive 3-4 hours when sending and fetching kids. -

There was a period when I explored ICCP for my doter. The centers that I called told me that there was a wait list of special needs children waiting to get into their centers. They also explained that they have a quota for special needs children that they could take in.Why childcare with iccp programs are less compassionate about the special need kids than mainstream childcare?

Maybe that's why the centers are not as flexible as the mainstream cc in accepting children. -
Your post about ICCP just triggered a distant memory that my son is/was on the waitlist for about 2 years now…and never heard a peep from center chosen and he is already going on to Pri 1 next month.
Suggest can forget about this alternative unless you have some string to pull. -
Mummies and Daddies,
Any of your child goes to mainstream school? Are they supportive of high functioning autism/Asperger? How do the school support your child? Mine suggests to get a shadow teacher. How much does a shadow teacher costs? School often conducts counselling sessions during curriculum hours, indirectly affecting the child and I could see that the teachers are not that happy with children returning after the sessions (kind of disrupting).
Child is offered a vacancy in another school. Wonder would changing a school environment be better for the child. Child is in the top class in the current school. -
Did gfcf for 10 days n already cheated twice. One was the salted popcorn when watching frozen n the other was cedele gluten free meal which was a huge disappointment. Not sure is it due to the diet or the increase in cholesterol intake ( which I believe is the latter ), my son sings more n definitely clearer. More playful n interaction. last night he actually took a book n read out 3 pages loudly n this is something he has never done it before. My husband n mum noticed his changes too in this very short period of time. I am hoping to see more improvement.
Anyway doing gfcf is really too tough. I don’t think I can do this long run but will die die complete this month with no more cheating. I really big time pei fu some mummies here whom actually did for a year or so… A lot of determination n self discipline involved… -
My doter has never been into Barbie dolls. While my two elder gals can engage themselves with the dolls and their various accessories for extended periods of time on end, she is not one to go into that area. During times when she has her momentary attention on the dolls, she would prefer to tear off the clothes, throw them on the floor, and return to her truck play.
Today I returned home from office to find surprises. She was engaging in INTERACTIVE and IMAGINATIVE play with my two elder gals with Barbie dolls! They had fairy names for their dolls - she had one too, albeit a slightly clumsy one; they had special magic powers for their dolls - she had them too; their Barbie dolls were flying around - hers was flying too, and fully clothed!; theirs had nice shoes - she asked for nice shoes on hers too!
Such was the joy of watching my three gals running around the house telling their story with their Barbie dolls and their magic powers. And having such fun and with such laughter. My two NT gals and my ASD one. It is such an invaluable gift that I would not have dared ask for.
At this moment my gratefulness goes beyond words… -
Morning,
With the new year coming, I m again reviewing my boy’s performance n see if he can stop abt therapy or need to add on. Well, his therapists advise that he continues what he is doing while I feel he really needs to improve on social skills and overall discipline n agility. So yes, I m starting him on social class n perhaps taekwando next year.
He went for a trial lesson yesterday n boy! The taekwando master is really fierce n strict. But luckily my boy seems to enjoy it n he really followed instructions give by the instructor. Will update n share once he starts his lesson.
Merry Xmas in advance to all the wonderful mummies n daddies here. -
Talking about imaginary play. My boy was never one who likes soft-toys. But we have a few bears around, some big ones some small ones from gifts over the years. Recently one night, he collected all the bears and put them to bed with him! So I thought what happened and asked around. Apparently he watched \"Mr Bean\" and saw one episode with Mr Bean having a bear party with all the bears sitting around the dinner table. There must be a scene where Mr Bean put the bears to bed as well. So boy started doing that, putting bears to sit around the dinner table and then putting them to bed! Ke..ke..ke...! :rotflmao:
Merry Christmas to all mummies and daddies here!

Recently my boy is starting to imitate too. There's a few commercials he likes and when the TV plays the commercials, he will follow the actions and sing along.
