“After 6 months of ABA training, Kimi’s biggest improvement is his language skills, and following are his eye contact and his ability to control his temper. At the age of 1.5, children with normal development can say “Papa, Mama”, but we couldn’t make Kimi speak a word. But just after 3 weeks of ABA training, my son already had visible improvement! From the very first 3 week, he could say a single word “Ma’, to a month after, knowing how to say “Mama” and now he can say “Mommy loves Kimi.” I will never forget this joy. ” Read more

“After joining AP’s ABA training in 6 months, Kasey has improved substantially in various abilities. His social skills have become better and he has started to interact with others. Also, Kasey now can express his needs, which helps him in becoming less frustrated and in turns having less tantrum. In addition, I think the process of ABA used in AP is very progressive and the programs are tailored to each child’s specific needs.” Read more

“Her improvement is not something I have expected. After the 3rd day of training, I found that her eye contact was different. It was an eye contact telling us she wanted to communicate. Her responding has also become faster than before. We don’t have to call her many times to get her response. She enjoys doing her tasks and she believes that she is doing a great job. So when she practices again at home, she feels happy again. ” Read more

Also, his dad has also noticed that Paul has spoken more than before when out in the park. His contents are more descriptive and more complex.

“Zhang came to AP at 3 years old, after a few years of intervention, he has made progress in many areas. Zhang’s clinical staff are very supportive, and have always been motivating me and Zhang through the years of training. They taught me many skills to help deal with Zhang’s problems and reduce my stress of parenting Zhang. I am very grateful of the clinical team working with Zhang. They are very experienced and detail-minded, understand every child’s ability and designing programs that are effective for individual children.” Read more

“Now Cheuk Cheuk has been receiving 6-7 months of training at Autism Partnership, he has made significant progress in various aspects. He could only speak one or two words before coming to AP. And we couldn’t make him to sit still and learn. Often times, he had no interactions with others. After receiving two months of training, he’s able to speak some words. He has improved a lot in terms of following instructions and he also showed more interests in others.
I think what’s special about AP is that AP therapists are not forcing Cheuk Cheuk to do things. Instead, they lead Cheuk Cheuk to take the initiative to learn, and he was enjoying the learning progress. (Through Parent Education) We know how to help Cheuk Cheuk in generalizing his skills at home, this is something that the previous organization failed to teach us. ” Read more

“After these 5 days of training, I think the greatest improvement is his self-control skills, and his responsiveness to the instructions from others. Not only 1, but can also respond to 2 or 3 instructions. It has been 3 years since his diagnosis. We have worked with many different therapists and it took very long for every therapist to be able to control his behavior. However in AP, he was very receptive to the different therapists in the lessons.” Read more

” Etash was diagnosed with ASD at around 2 and half years old. At that time, he was non-verbal, unable to imitate any sound or give response and has cognitive skill below average. After joining AP’s program for a month, he started to imitate sound very quickly, and he has progressed significantly. After 2 years of the program at AP, Etash is now ready to go back to mainstream school. We now feel very positive about his future and can start building dreams for him. ” Read more

” In a short amount of time at AP, my son already started to show significant progress in learning how to control his temper and impulsive behavior as well as how to engage in social interactions with his peers.

“Since Cole started therapy, he has made tremendous progress. When he started therapy, he had no language skills. After on year, his language was about six month behind his typical peers. As just over four years, he is now completely verbal with language skills equal to typicalk children his age. His other developmental tasks have made similar progress. I am certain he wouldn’t have made this level of progress if he had not gotten early and intensive therapy.”

“We approached Autism Partnership in September 2009 after a frustrating year trying to find effective and professional help for our son. Within one month we had a fully supported and highly individualized ABA programme running which showed immediate results! They tackled the problem behaviors – sleep, self care, rituals, stimulation – first, to the immediate improvement of all our lives. “

” The one-day didactic workshop was extremely successful, almost 250 people came, mostly parents and special education workers. Actually, some scientist and doctors also attended the lecture, even the head of child psychiatry of Siberian Federal Region visited the talk. The hands-on part overcame all expectations and was absolutely fantastic. Everyone including parents, students and even translators were elated by the progress the kids made. It was unbelievable. We all saw what the real quality ABA intervention was.”

” The teaching interaction workshop was excellent. It was beyond my expectation, a lot of worthwhile information and practical exercise that is very useful to me both in professional and in personal life. I never regret that I had traveled miles away from Bangkok all the way to Hong Kong just to be part of this workshop. I will definitely attend another workshop in AP “

– Ms Eden Vidal, ASCOT International School, Bangkok

” I just wanted to write to say how valuable and information I found the recent AP workshop. The presenter was extremely well prepared and the timing of the presentation was just right for our group which was a mixture of parents, teachers and therapists. Attending your workshop was an excellent way for me to network, with other people in the breaks too. I like the fact that the training groups are small, it meant that even the shy participants felt confident to ask questions.
I particularly enjoy the sessions where we can practice our new skills with real students. I don’t know any other support service which offers such a variety of workshop topics.
It is a real testament to the talents of the AP managers and staff. I cannot stress how important it is for AP to continue to encourage capacity building in these very effective research based technique in HK.
Thanks again. Keep up the good work. “
