It is our
vision to contribute our services to all autistic children in this
country. To realise this, we embark on innovative programmes that
holistically focus on the needs of our autistic children, their
families and other caregivers.
 |
Our
main objective has always been to be a source of information
and the training ground for autistic children and their
parents. Information on autism can be easily obtained
from our professional staff and from the books and
audio-visual resources that are provided at the Centre.
Another objective is to train and help the autistic
child to become an accepted member of society. This is
achieved through proven and well-planned programmes patiently
carried out. |
|
We
also provide workshops and seminars to improve the skills of
our volunteers, parents and family members in dealing with the
many facets of autism. These are the people who play
vital roles in the building and training of the children’s
character, behaviour and education that will determine their
future. |

 |
As
much as we care for the autistic children, we place
great emphasis in supporting their parents and families in many ways. Our
wish is to provide an avenue for them to express their
problems and concerns with regard to their autistic children.
Therefore, counselling services are offered to all parents in
groups or individually. The parent
support group itself provides an avenue for parents to
cooperate, to support and help each other in every way they
are able to. We work towards a “family-like” structure
at the Centre in that we encourage everyone in the family to
be involved in the many activities together with their
children. Hence, continuous training is achieved as training
begins at the Centre and continues at
home. |
|
The
surprising success of our simple desire to involve families of
these autistic children in their training at the Centre has
encouraged us to share our methods with those who have the
desire to set up such Centre.
Most
importantly, the key feature of our method is that the
services are given FREE. In this way, parents are more
committed if they are required to retain primary
responsibility for their charge, participate in the activities
and training, and provide their own efforts. We advocate for our autistic
children and also help the family members to enjoy these
children. |

With 20
years of sound experience in the field of autism, we now have an
insight into the training and education of autistic children that we
can share. |
