It's been a month now since my son was clinically diagnosis of potential ASD. My self n my hub have put much effort to improve him.

Just one month my son has improved so much that we din expect to be. Last time he only know how to pull my hand near the cookies and say I wan cookies. Now he will just simply ask from me without pulling me to the cookies where it's store. Now he also know what the word WHERE means n ask me where is his toy. He is more interested in human now rather then objects

These he learn from us. Not Leo Megan. At Leo Magen they only teach him one words asking that all. That y I dropped it.

Parents teaching are more effective but if k find good therapist join force will really speed up.

helplessmum, good to see that you have started to put things together and results are showing ...

Yes the waiting time for KKH SLT is super long

I also waited quite sometime for them to access my kid. If you can afford, best to find pte speech therapy and get him started first. And bear in mind, if your kid is already enroll in EIPIC, after the assessment, they wont offer you any more KKH speech therapy as the EIPIC centre supposed to cover speech therapy session.

Here's the list of EIPIC fee for 2012. Different centre charges differently.

Some centres need parents to company the kid. Some no need. So you might want to consider this before selecting a EIPIC.

Have you attended the EIPIC talk in KKH? Its a talk held by the social workers where they will give you more details about EIPIC program and recommend programs suitable for parents and kids. Of cos they can also listen to you and answer any of the questions that you have regarding the next steps for your kids.

I find the session quite useful. Also most eipic centre has a waiting list. Some even wait for 1 year. So just registered yourself first before deciding whether going ahead cos you might still need to wait sometime.
