Course Description
If you have a child who is:
a. unable to effectively communicate his/her wants and needs,
b. having difficulty transitioning to a mainstream school, or
c. an infant/toddler at risk of diagnosis on the autism spectrum…
Have hope.
Our experience shows that when an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program is implemented well, the results on children with autism is extremely positive. Within one year, 100% of children under a program can effectively communicate their wants/needs. 90% can eventually be transitioned to a mainstream or special education school. And when ABA is started at an early age, a significant number can be transitioned to a regular school with same age peers.
Come to a seminar to be given for the first time in Singapore by one of the world’s pioneers in Autism research, Dr. Joseph E. Morrow, Ph.D., BCBA, and learn about the latest research results on the most effective application of ABA that parents need to know, so your child too can reap the benefits above.
Objectives of The Course
This two-day seminar for parents shares the latest research and application of ABA to:
- Teach your child to effectively communicate his/her wants and needs within a year.
- Help your child to successfully transitionto mainstream school.
- Help your toddler to eventually perform in school successfully with same age peers
