語言障礙的小朋友

Sorry chrischiu, I forgot to answer your question.  I remember there is a set of chinese book in Heep Hong.  It cost more than what I expect but sure worth reading.  I don't remember the title but there are 4 books in a set.  It's more or less including speech, gross and fine motor, social interaction and more.  I remembered I copied the development milestone from it a few years back.  I will be going to Heep Hong next week, maybe I can check out the name of the books, something like 'training for the autistic children"  I am not sure now.  maybe if some parents here remember or know this set of books, please post it out.  I seldom read Chinese books and I am better in English than Chinese.  I taught my less-abled children English only as English consists  of only 26 alphabets.  Chinese is very complicated.  I know that it'll not be an easy task to learn two languages.  Only when they are ready, then they pick up Chinese.  Language is only for communication, as long as they can communicate, I think that serve the purpose already.  My eldest boy and second girl can speak 5 languages but not all of them are gifted.  My youngest boy can not manage with language.  Thus I did not force at all.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Dear agustus,

It is so touching about your encounters and from your message which I can see that you and your family all have given a lot of efforts, patience and perservance with each other.  The future of your children must be fruitful and your efforts must be rewarded in one day.  May God bless you and your family!

By the way, if I don't remember wrong with the book name from Heep Hong which should be '自閉症兒童訓練手冊'，是協康會全冊共有四本。

Last time I read one of the 4 books which related to social interaction skills.  I picked out some games which are suitable for my girl.  Children will have very big improvement if parents dedicate the time and efforts effectively on them.  That is my experience of these recent months from which I can see my girl's significant progress in her social skills and speech development.  If I can manage, I hope I will be a full time mom.

Looking forward to have your valuable experience to share with us.

Hi chrischiu,
gigi2 has got the name correctly.  It's call '自閉症兒童訓練手冊'. I will recommend you to borrow the set and read it.  There's another series about social interaction by Heep Hong too.  Cost more than a thousand hongkong dollars.  Recommended by my children CP.  I did not buy the book as i realised it's translated from english.  I also did not remember the name of the set.  May need sometime to find out.  get back to you as soon as i got the name.  mean while, try to borrow from heep hong the set of book about autistic.  i even make some copies about the development milestone from it too.  hope these help.  take care and never never think of letting go.  it's our battle and we will win.

Thanks gigi2, I hope i did not boast too much about the development of my children.  Yes we put in tremendious effort but i think the children work harder than I do.  Without their cooperation, nothing can work out.  forcing a child to learn is nover an easy task but coaching a willing child is very effective.  to the children, they did not really understand the meaning of 'important' to learn.  it's basically how theya re being  encourage and ' push'.  

honestly, I am not good with this.  I am more point to point and object oriented.  I see result more than the process but luckily, I am very fortunate to have a spouse that watch my back.  So, my strict plan will have a very sensible-touch by her and the children will buy the task more than just 'what time finish what'.

More over, the more the children grow up, i realise that each of them have very different abilities.  Even the most incapable one shows some talent.  I am glad that each can accept their own differences and push their own potential.  My autistic child is very good in music, he can play piano, violin, guzheng and erhu well, at least better than the rest of the children.  But can not do anything with mouth ( like flute..) .  My children are either good in languages or lousy in it.  Very extreme.  The one good in language is not capable in music, I can not even accept the way he sings.  My goodness, he can tell one tune to another.  One that can't perform in language is very caring and responsible, good in maths.  As i say, very extreme, i also don't know why they can be so extreme.  the primary one boy can actually teach the primary 5 boy mathematics.  And he can understand his brother more than my teaching.  Now i just let them teach each other.  maybe i aged, that's why.

My life is a mess, really.  not as sweet as you thought.  yes, loving family, but still we have a lot of challenges a head.  united family, yes but they are not ready to face the world yet.  my career is a mess too as their spending is getting more and more unpredictable. my spouse is demanding to get back to work force as she knew my worries yet I think the children are still too young to leave to the helper and we can not demand much from the helper.

Well, as the chinese old saying goes, there're lots of tales to tell from a family.  I'll face it with a smile and i know behind me, there are a team supporting me, my family.  Still, i am afraid sometimes, i make a wrong decision and they will suffer with me.  It's not easy to really not make any mistakes.  Trust me, I make thousands of mistakes and all are forgiven and forgotten.  I am a lucky guy.

maybe if you don't find me boring and nagging, i am willing to share with you our 'battle' with the challenging children.  in behavioural, social as well as academic, I have seen success, still room for improvement but these success i hope can help those still struggling between what to do and where to do.

Thanks for reading, have a nice weekend.

Dear Agustus,

I really admire you for being such a good mum.  It is imagainable how much pressure you have been under for having more than one kid with special needs and attention.  

I have a son who have delay in language comprehension and expression.  He is now nearly 7 yrs old and is studying in a normal primary school.  I have hired prviate ST and we have a session in every two weeks.  Constant improvements have been witnessed but in socializing with peers, the language delay become a hurdle and he becomes a target of bully sometimes at school.  I am thinking of helping him by getting him more chances to learn to communicate and play with kids of his own age but since the children of my friends and relatives were much older then him, I find it difficult to handle the issue.  

On the other hand, being a working mum, there is always time constraint.  I sometimes blame myself for spending not enough time to train him.  As a working mother too, have you got any tips to share with me?

Many thanks!
