Karkar:

Dear mummies,


Hope you had a good wkend break. Thanks for the comments you had for my decision. Well, well. I am still looking for the resource i can possibily find. Two things that come to my mind, one is my boy's gut problem, another is the new therapy RDI program i want to embark on.

some background on my boy. I decided not to bring him to KKH for assessment as i know him well. at his age, 2 years and 3 months, most likely i will get a date for review 6 months later. without it, i probably can't enjoy the service provided by KKH.

For mummies who has gotten the clinical assessment in KKH, the \"more than words\" henan';s program is quite good. You can subsidies from the gov so you only need to pay half of the program fee. I wish i could get that too.

My boy has some atopic rashes as the GP terms it. and his constipation problem pains him a lot. his poo is super duper big, which brings him a lot of pain in the first few pushes. Hes now very reluctant to poo. I wanted to get him allergic test, now i guess i can't because i dont have a good reason in government system to do that. my next step is probably to find a DAN! doctors (expensive, i know). Only two clinics i find online are [quote]DAN (Defeat Autism Now)

Currently My boy is receiving 2hr/day ABA session at home. I came across some talks on RDI approach, and i like their philosophy. however, i dont think mummies here in the support group use this approach much. I read somewhere online that their service is in the range of $200-300/hr, which is more expensive of my home ABA session. There are 5 RDI-certified consultants in SG now. I wonder if any mummy knows about any of them. afterall it's parent training program, i can use my half day to get involved.

Mummies, need your honest opinions on my planning for my son's therapies. Thank you very much.[/quote]

HI Karkar,

Mind to share the contact of your ABA home tuition?


Good day

jme:

Hi Elmoworld,


Thank u for the sharing. I just started my son on biomedical treatment a few months ago. He did mineral analysis, organic acid test, gluten/casein peptides test n blood test for vitamin D. I was advised to let him do IGG test but am quite reluctant to do so. This is because I have read sharing from mothers (from the states) that after a year of restriction on \"high intolerance\" food, those \"moderate n mild intolerance\" food became high intolerance instead. I might be wrong but I concluded moderation in food choices is better. However, I am not against doing IGG test. I believe it is better to know what type of food would create issues to our children's health and avoid over consuming it but not completely avoiding it. Right now, it is the cost of the test that is stopping me to do so.

However, I agree with u that it is good to do gfcf. I have tried but failed. Gfcf is tough. Too tough. It has to be 100% gluten n casein free and there r too many types of food with hidden gluten n casein. I cannot do it n can only try my best to eat lesser of it n supplement with enzyme DPP4.

Did your child do mineral analysis? How did your naturopath know what is he deficient in?

Hi,

May I know where to buy enzyme DPP4?


Good day.

Nancy Yeoh:

Hi,


If you are talking about right brain training... then it is either Shichida, Heguru or Glenn Doman.

Shichida and Heguru are almost the same. I would advise you to go for their trail classes to get a first hand which one suit your child.

Both are very good! Your child must enjoy or feel happy in that class.
That is most important.

:rahrah:

hi,

Is anyone know is there any Glenn Doman based centre in Singapore>??

Thank

[quote=\"STmummy\"]Anyone knows if the Right Brain Tots at Punggol is still open?

I tried calling the number given but was an invalid mobile number.

Hi,

You may want to check it out with Heguru @ Eunos http://www.hegurueducation.com.sg/ as they are starting one centre at Sengkang (Buangkok MRT). Should be quite near to Punggol :boogie:

when the buangkok centre coming? interesting now they go neighbourhood?[/quote]
Hi, there is another heguru concept run by other group.They have open a centre at one north.

Anyone been there before?

Hi Jar,


Since you enjoyed subsidized rate at SNEC. Could you choose for Dr Quah?

My understanding is that you cant choose doctor at subsidized rate

JAR:

Asp23: I was referred to SNEC via poly clinic and enjoyed subsidized rate. If I remember correctly, I paid close to one thousand (part of the amt paid thru cpf) for the day-surgery. Had the operation early in the morning, i went in with boy to the operating theater till he dozed off after anesthetic, then waited outside and after abt 2hrs, boy was wheeled to the day-surgery ward to recover. Rested for a few hrs and after the nurse helped washed his eyes and taught u how to take care, boy was discharged. The most difficult part was immediately after operation and for the first few days as the eyes are still sore. Some cryings were unavoidable and boy was unable to open his eyes for the first 2 days as he found it too painful to do so. Within 5days to a week, no longer painful. However the redness only subsides in about one month time and no swimming are allowed for one mth.
As boy was schooling, we chose to have the operation at the start of the school holiday and am glad that his eyes were fully healed by the time school reopened.

His squinting are on both eyes and not constant.

As mentioned in my earlier post, we only opted for surgery after eye patching for 1 and a half year as there was no improvement.
Maybe you can asked Dr Quah what is the success rate of eye patching for your boy before deciding if you would like to try eye patching.

We only realized that my boy had problem seeing 3D images after tested by optometrist at SNEC.

I have used DLink camera before it requires me to engage third party IT professional to configure my router in order to remote access. Later, my friend recommended an IP camera (WELL-503w) provided by Security Hub Pte Ltd. It is very easy to use. Simply plug in and use. The thing I like is I don't require to engage third party IT professional to configure the router as they charge $150 per visit. You can contact Freddy Tan (9748-0880)

Hi,

Could you pls elaborate more about the cost and product?

Thank
