Hi,

I need to send my ASD boy to tuition badly. He is still not improving and totally lacking behind (He’s P1). Pls advise if there is a any good tuition centre in CCK area. Thanks!

I want to send my son to a group ST session. Any recommendations? I felt he learn better in a small group setting.

Hi ImMeeMee

I think your preparatory prog is different from my EIPIC program. Think the prep prog is just for short term? The EIPIC is long term which comprises of ST, OT, work habits etc.
Is ur prog held at blk 606?

Its totally useless there I felt. I stopped asking the teachers name cos they kept changing, and of no help at all. and the fee even after subisdy is very exp, my hubby have to make time out to send & fetch. It’s not worth the hassle at all.

Why did your son hate K2? If u see he’s struggling with work, then better think properly. I thot my son can survive P1 but he’s not. Have you seen the P3 onwards books, it’s much tougher than now. We have to think much ahead then just these 2 years.

Anyway I felt we know our children best. I clearly see my son cannot catch up with the fast moving syllabus, the SNO and teacher do try their best to help but how much can they do. I rather send him to a special school where the pace is slower for him.

My son used to go to Epic CCK which is near our place. To be frank, it’s not good as the teachers are young, interns, some are foreigners with an accent. I don’t see my son improve there. So we stop the Eipic since last year.

My son has speech delay, and affected his academic. He still can’t hold a proper conversation. I felt he should take a step back as mainstream will only get tougher. His classmates also felt he’s different, so kind of dont like him. Because of this, he started to push them when he hate the treatment from them, then the SNO will sms me and complain. Very stressful for us too.


I also go for private ST, they are much better & commited than the SLTs in KK or NUH. U pay more, u get better focus, that’s all I can say.

I also went for NUH OT which is heading no where, I might have to sent him to private OT too. All these therapies costs us alot!!!

Take it easy, I see that my son struggle in Mainstream too. Not only that, I can also see that his classmates discrimnate him. For the best of his interests, I think its best for us to take a step back, and put him in a special school where the pace is slower.

Yes most special schools dont offer mainstream curriculum. Instead its more about life skills, vocational work. I just wonder what is the difference between ASD class and MID (mild intellectual disability - Low IQ) classes. I googled and the fees for ADS classes are at least 10xs higher than the MID.

where do u stay?

Yes it's usually learning more about vocational skills rather than academic. Their education path is much simpler, not even ITE level. I stay at CCK.
