Appleworm:

He likes to go \"ahhhhhhh....\" Exerting his energy and he becomes very whinny which he didnt used to be.

What is sped school?
He is not able to udstd if i explain to him. He doesnt even stop after me telling him no its not nice or no mummy dont like.
Im thinking of intensive aba for him plus ot & st..

At 3yo, explaining to him may not work, especially if he is ASD (less socially aware or concerned about other people's reactions). Are you with him at home all day? If so, you can do behaviour modification with him at home, in conjunction with whatever other therapy you choose to use. I can't advise on therapies as I did not use any for my daughter (mild Aspergers). For a 3yo, make sure you set consequences for any behaviour you are working on - positive for those you want to encourage, and negative for those you don't. If you do it consistently, he should learn to behave in more acceptable ways. You can say the explanation, but he may not grasp it yet.

The thing about ABA or any othe behaviour modification is that consistency is the key. If it's only done a few hours a week or a few hours a day, it will be less effective if other caregivers do not follow the same system or rules.

SPED school means special education school that caters to special needs children. Rainbow is a SPED school.

Children, whether NT or with special needs, may manifest 'strange' or inappropriate behaviors during different times. I guess its part of growing up. Difference could be that it is easier to correct NT kids than special needs children as the latter is more rigid. My point is, whether you drop out of SPED school or not may not be the way to solve the problem of your child having strange behaviors, at the expense of the support that SPED schools can give to your child.

Please don't get me wrong, I am not here to push for SPED schools, and its up to parents to decide based on the child's needs. Just hoping to provide some clarity on the thinking process as to why we choose to or not to attend SPED school.

Hi


Anyone can share how you train your child to be independent in getting ready for school in the morning with the morning routine eg brush teeth, take breakfast, get dressed etc without having to verbal remind a few times everyday?

Child doesn’t like to go to school.Think he trying to delay the morning routine to delay time to go school

Hi,


my boy is 6 years old this year. He is supposed to be in Primary 1 next year, but I delay him one more year. I will be arranging him to go to Pathlight. I supposed most mothers with autism kids will know that they had to take a IQ test 1st. He will be taking his IQ test in Jan 2016.

Can any mothers share their child IQ test experience with me? I want to prepare him for the IQ test. Thank you.

Hi


Anyone has encountered child telling you in the morning he doesn’t want to go childcare? How to tell him so that he doesn’t dislike school.

Hi ripley08,
You can google IQ tests for 6yo and let your child practice such questions every day. Can also try to expose him to more general knowledge, eg why every car must have a car plate number.
I was told preparation can improve score by 10-20. All the best
