      Hi James,


      What do you want to know more about? The symptoms of our child (it differs from child to child), the therapies we used? It depends on your financial ability but these are as follow:
      1. ABA
      2. OT
      3. ST
      4. Eipic
      5. Social class
      6. Neurofeedback
      7. Dietary changes to lifestyle

      Most of the parents here use the following standard for our special ones - govt eipic + mainstream pre-school + govt & private OT and ST . Results vary as it depends on the severity of their condition but the overall consensus is that our darlings do get better over time WITH intervention (either with outside therapists or DIY with parents at home).

      You can also read thru the 400+ pages of history on this thread, it contained very useful information of newbies.

            Hi,


            How do u all train ur kids to buy food by himself and follow the teachers in class and not wander around? Im sending my child to mainstream next year, quite worried he can sit still bcos he is hyperactive. And also worry he cant buy his food without someone supervising him. And also scare of bullies. He gets bullied by kids younger than him. Really worry he cant adapt mainstream although he belongs to mild ASD.

            Aprreciate ur advices!

              Hi jme,

              How come you don’t have the 19 pages Maths homework? Does your boy need to write a weekly English journal?

              Wow. $290 one way is expensive. I am paying $240 for 2 ways. Guess I shouldn’t complain?? But the timing sucks lah. The bus comes at 6am! So he has to get up at 5.30am, which is very early. For the last weeks, he every morning face black black…

                on top of paying school bus fees $240 (which is already very ex), how much do you pay for school fees, per month (Pathlight) ? do they offer subsidy, to parents ?

                    $370 a month. Yes, there is Means Testing for both school fees and transport. I dunno how much subsidy bec I don't qualify for any. Damn sianz....I always don't get anything. Middle class is sg very miserable.

                    The principal said no deserving child will be deprived bec of money. But she also hint she will call us (read as kick us out) if parents don't cooperate so i have to kwai kwai check his homework file everyday.....

                      Yes, better check his homework daily, make sure submit homework on time, due. Join a class whatsapp chat group, to see what need to be submitted & when is the dateline due.

                      but based on what's been discussed here, seem like different class within the same level (Pathlight), different. Your son got 19 pages of Maths hw + need to write a weekly English journal, while another class no hw.


                      Every month you're paying $610, per month ($370 sch fee + $240 sch bus)

                      when you son go up to higher level next time (from P2 to P6) :
                      will school fees remain at $370 per month, or fees go up again according to level ?
