Success story: Autistic behaviors modified

In this success story, Yasmine had testified about how her son's autistic behavior had modified and improved.
So...parents of autistic children. Be strong! Do not be discouraged! Do not give up!
Given suitable intervention and training, autistic children also could improve.

Some autistic children had improved so much that they could attend ordinary school for ordinary children. Anyway, whether it is huge improvement or minor improvement, I am sure this will be good for the children with autistic features.

From Yasmine on her son, Azmir

I must say my son Azmir has improved a lot since coming to REACh. He is now more independent, and he can socialise and speak normally.
Since joining the Centre and its wonderful programmes, Azmir is not what he used to be anymore. Through the dedication and patience of the volunteers and teachers at the Centre, his autistic behaviors have been modified.
Before coming to the Centre, Azmir did not have any speech at all. But now he is able to speak and not only that, he is able to ask questions too. And because he is more confident now, he has become more sociable. He is able to interact freely with other children and greet everyone he sees.
What’s more, he is so independent now he is able to wash plates, make drinks, help to clean house, wipe the table, mop the floor, help his grandmother to cook, bathe himself and look after his brother. At the same time, he is able to recognise money and know the value of it. And this is greatly due to the group play sessions that he attends regularly.
On the whole, the programmes at this Centre have collectively enabled my child to be transformed. Seeing that he is now more than able to make a conversation and speak fluently in English and Bahasa Malaysia in such a short span of time, we are extremely glad we had made the right choice of coming to REACh for help from the very beginning.
