But there are days like these when he just can’t keep still that I wonder if he was fed anything earlier on that makes him sooo hyperactive! If only I can enroll him in gymnastics or something like that!
STAY ACTIVE EVERYONE!
STAY ACTIVE EVERYONE!
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.

Its been a while since I last visited. I must say, Ive been rather caught up with revision and exams!
I'm wondering, since im officially 'jobless' in this current moment(and few months beyond) I'm wondering if its possible if I could arrange myself into a volunteering work at learning ladders. would there possibly be any?
Hi Muizzo! Nice to hear from you again! I hope your exams went well and you are confident to get your dream grades! Amin.. Actually, if you are really interested to volunteer, email me saja and I can give you more details then. We are planning a big event with Ministry of Education on the first week of January so we would need all the help we can get! Thanks muizzo!
