        blokus,


        so malu to say this, i was not the one who taught my son this. i think the eipic or speech therpaist taught him… my son attend eipic 3x per week for 3 hours.

        but it was that NT guy who keep following my boy and wants to play with him… then my son just asked the qn… i think he ask just for the sake of asking?? i really dunno what is in their mind.

          I didn't read my son's psychological report so many times cos I know whatever that is written inside there was what I told the psychologist and now the diagnostic are passe already..


          I needed that report more like a confirmation to say my son is ASD n get into eipic.

          My son never do any iq test.. How is it being tested??

          Just now my son went to ask this NT kid \"what is your name\" at the playground... The NT kid never reply lol... But when the NT kid tries to tell my son to follow him, my son just \"ahhhhh\" and ran off.. But I am still happy my son learn what to say when seeing his peers like asking him for his name..


          Haha, I also dunno how they do it exactly coz we were chased out of the room when they do that. But think they ask specific questions and if he can answer, they will continue. If not they stop. The longer he stays in there, the better his iq.

          Hmmm...we were asked to remain in the room. The IQ test comprised of 2 sections: Verbal and Non Verbal. The verbal section involved definitions of words. The non verbal section involved classification of pictures, patterns and sequencing, and manipulative cubes with patterns which he was required to imitate and reproduce.

          That's what's done based on my memory...might have left out some...

                I wonder how they decide who stays and who goes to St. Andrews. In fact, we were transferred from a registrar to a consultant after the first initial appointment. And we are subsidized patients...

                  We are subsidised too through Polyclinic. We live in the East so it's more convenient to go to SAC in Simei. The Centrals will go to Outram while the NEasteners will go to Sengkang. Both SAC and SK are satellite centres of KKH CDU to convenience people in suburbs.

                    I thought Helplessmum stays in the central area? I stay in the north central area. Guess u might be right in how they decide who gets sent where since I go kkh.

                      She time my son whenever each task is given to self solving .

                      At 2yo she also test if my son is able to count , grouping , buildings blocks , I imitating . Result alsO base on time he taken to complete not only he is able to complete. My son finished each task speedy which only seen it that day. No prompting from all of us. He need to problem solve all by himself .

                      For imitating task she only show once only. So lucky my son spot on n do what is shown

                        Gifts from Heaven:

                        Hi mummies,


                        Anyone has kid who can read but cannot spell?
                        If yes, what do you do?

                        My daughter was like that. But how old is your child, and how bad is it? Does he know any phonics?

                        My daughter learned to read by sight without being taught to read, and didn't learn phonics. She has some auditory processing difficulties, so at the age most kids learn phonics (preschool) she was not very able to discern different sounds by breaking down words, nor was she able to take individual sounds and blend them readily. She read normally and was quite an advanced reader for her age, and although not much of a talker, her diction was fine too except for a few more difficult sounds that she only mastered around 7yo. I didn't bother too much about it until she reached school age, then started teaching her phonics 'backwards', if you know what I mean. Instead of using individual sounds to blend into words, I taught her to break words into inidividual sounds and the letters associated with them. That works for a lot of words, but not all, and for the 'sight' words, she just memorised. She wasn't in English school until P4 so I don't know how she would have coped in Singapore school, but by P4 she was on par with everyone else.

                        He is 5 and has been taking phonics lessons for 2 yrs.
                        He can read and blend. Just that the phonics teacher said he refused to spell. I'm not sure if it is 'cos he can't spell that's why he refused to do it. When it comes to the academics, this boy of mine just gives up totally when he finds it hard...sigh!
                        Any suggestions to get him to spell?
