AP Kowloon Centre Parents Open Day

Calling all parents and caregivers!

When a child is suspected of having an ASD diagnosis, many parents find themselves navigating a sea of information, from ASD assessments to intervention methods, only leaving them feeling more overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain. Parents often encounter a confusing blend of contradictory perspectives about ASD—from causes and symptoms to intervention methods and potential outcomes for children. Some hear discouraging predictions that their child may struggle to make meaningful progress, while others come across encouraging stories of children with ASD achieving remarkable outcomes.

Although we cannot predict each child’s outcome with certainty, with over 30 years of experience in ABA interventions and over 150 published studies in ASD and ABA, we have greatly expanded our understanding of the remarkable potential within children with ASD. While these children may initially exhibit significant differences compared to their peers, high-quality interventions can substantially bridge these gaps, often advancing social and language skills to levels aligned with typical development.

On Saturday, December 14, we open our doors to give you an inside look at AP Centre. You’ll have the chance to meet our professional consultants, learn about the AP Method and how it addresses all areas of learning to maximize children’s progress during their critical developmental stages. You can also tour our facilities and see how each learning space is designed to effectively support children with ASD. Our consultants will be available to answer any questions you may have.

AP Method™:

AP Method™ is based on nearly 30 years of research and effective clinical practice. In contrast to conventional ABA, the AP Method™ f is a highly flexible, yet systematic and compassionate approach, meeting the individual needs of people with ASD. This guides students in a natural environment to enhance their specific weaknesses, foster their learning abilities, and master essential life skills and learning techniques. Ultimately, this prepares them for successful integration into society.
This will be a great opportunity for parents to learn more about our AP Method and treatment approach, and how we help children with ASD to maximize their progress, to equip them with all critical foundational skills necessary for long-term success and on-going development and make a difference for their future.
