Our Peaceful Journey....: Voila!

Voila!

Or in Raiyan's words- Tee-La!

After much deliberations and undergoing many trial and errors, I think I have finally decided on this new layout. Raiyan's fave colour is green so the nuances of green within it is perfect. I couldn't let go of this artwork by celso junior cause it just has such a special sentimental hold on me. And lastly, I love how there are so many sections for me to put in al the side things!

It's still far from complete though. I would go on but it is already 1:30 in the morning and I have to get up in 5 hours time to go to the gym! Hah

About Raiyan

Raiyan was diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum at 4 years 7 months and was immediately started on 13 hours/week sessions of 1-1 ABA-based behavioral and language development therapy.

Before that, Raiyan could only communicate his needs using 1-2 words at most (though he can narrate a whole song or book easily but with no comprehension of what his words meant), was extremely resistant to change and new situations/environments, was locked in his obsessive world of animals and threw excruciatingly loud tantrums lasting hours or until his wants are eventually met.

Alhamdulillah, now at 6 years old, Raiyan can now have conversations with others, is open to change and new environments with a little cajoling, is constantly engaged in imaginative play including group play with his siblings and other children and best of all, has long kissed the scary tantrums goodbye.

He has also gone beyond our expectations with him now being independent in class (year 2) in a mainstream school.

We have no doubts that Raiyan is where he is now because of the appropriate therapy he has received in the past year and the conscientious hard work and dedication exerted by his caregivers, his therapists and most of all by Raiyan himself.

We are forever thankful and appreciative of the progress Raiyan has made to date and would love to offer other parents the same hope that we have and to work towards the progress they dream for their own child. Amin.

Our Peaceful Journey....

Voila!
