Hi Double E,

Do they give you feedback after each session on your boy's progress? Have you noticed a huge improvement in his focus and attention after he attended the sessions or his symptoms are quite mild to start with? I read another company called Spectrum Learning also does neurofeedback and I'm deciding between these 2 companies.

My boy's symptoms are mild, so I won't say I see a huge improvement. But I do think it helps. His attention could be worse without this neuro feedback.

summer tan, I stay up north and have looked around quite a bit while I was considering mainstream schools for my doter two years back.

I would say Naval Base Primary School has a relatively good reputation to support ASD children in the northern area. I went for its open house two years ago, and overall the school gave an impression that they were very supportive of the children. They also mentioned that they have quite a number of ASD children and the number of AEDs is higher due to the higher number of special needs children.

After the session I stayed back to speak to the VP and there was a long queue of parents and from what I heard, a number was there to make enquiry because of special needs. The VP came across as someone who was kind and accommodating.

That was about two years ago and I do not know whether things have changed since then. One parent friend that I spoke to quite some time ago also mentioned NBPS and said her son was there. She gave thumbs up on its support.

The other school that you may want to consider could be Chong Boon that is next to PL in AMK. I have not been there but the fact that they have children on an exchange program with PL during certain activities gives me the impression that they would be relatively more embracing. You may like to check it out.

HTH.

Hi ImMeeMee

Thank you for the information. That really helps alot. Strong support is really very impt. Hmm would that make it like a \"mini pathlight school\"? The pri sch open house is in december right? Mind if I ask, did u choose nbps in the end? Actually my husband and I are in a dilemma bcos semb pri sch is nearer to us than nbps.

Thanks much again!

Can try Naval Base Primary School.

Thanks sembgal. Have you heard of semb pri sch? Is the support good?[/quote]I have heard of Naval Base has quite a number of special needs like ASD or ADD or ADHD. One of my friend's child in Naval Base has mild ADHD and she mentioned that the school's support is good.

Nowadays most Pri schools take in mild special needs pupils. You may like to call up the school of your preferred choice (SBW Pri Sch) to discuss further.

Postings right now revolve around primary schools that support ADHD, ASD or ADD kids. How about secondary schools? Any suggestions?

Summer tan, my daughter is in PL now. In the end we decided that this is a better option for her.


Yes, I was referring to the one that is next to PL, whichever the name.
