Is your child learning in school?
Choosing the right school or program that is best suited for a child can be a tough decision.
Parents want a school that helps their child grow and reach their fullest potential.
It’s normal for parents to enroll their child with autism into a mainstream preschool because they want their child to socialise with typical children – while hoping that he/she will be able to learn from other students and teachers.
However, while the intention is good, sometimes parents may notice that their child isn’t making much progress from school.
They may feel that they’re constantly playing catch-up for their child.
Children with autism experience developmental delays in attending, regulation, speech, language, numeracy, literacy, social skills etc.
The thing is, they may not necessarily assimilate into school immediately and know how to learn in a big class with other children.
Neither may teachers in a mainstream preschool have experience in teaching and handling children with autism...
nor might they have the capacity to give them special attention in a class with over 20 children.
More often than not, children with extra needs are neglected.
Their valuable time is wasted without receiving the support they need.
And they are not learning.
This is why we offer our School Readiness Program.
It is a program,
-
designed for children with autism,
-
provides the attention that your child deserves, and
-
where your child can learn effectively.
What is school readiness?
School readiness means that a child is able to learn in a group environment.
Often, children start with 1-on-1 instruction, where they have full access to an attentive adult to provide instruction and teach important skills, with high quality attention and support.
Although this is a great start for many children, it is not a sustainable teaching model.
The purpose of our School Readiness Program is to help bridge the gap between 1-on-1 instruction and group learning environments e.g. childcare or school.
Through our school readiness program, we can help your child to cope with the intensity of school and teach them important life skills to carry with them as they grow up.

So what are you waiting for? Find out why an ABA-based classroom actually works for children with autism today!
Professional and reliable therapists
All our therapists have a degree in Psychology and have gone through intensive Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) training.
ABA is a scientific approach to understanding behaviour and learning. It is a flexible technique that is effective for all ages, from early childhood through adulthood.
Our School Readiness Program will be led by our Case Supervisors, Carolyn and Sujie, who have over 8 years of experience teaching ABA to children with autism and special needs.
What our clients say about us
Jiayi Guo
Highly recommend. Our therapists Grace and Carolyn, they are really customer-oriented and attending to individual needs of my son. My son was starting with limited echos and now can have dialogues with teachers. Really appreciated.
Kyu Kyu Thinn
Grace and her team have passion to work with kids and are skillful and patient with them. Since my son started sessions with them, he has been progressing very well. Thank you!
Nicole Butcher
Jeannie was my son's ABA therapist for close to a year and she's always encouraging and informative of the process my son goes through. We're grateful to have had her in our son's early intervention years. Her patience has helped our son to progress at his own pace and if not for her I don't think he would be as far as he is today.
