Many parents ask why their child isn\u2019t making the same progress as other children, despite following the same intervention program. While we fully understand these concerns, we strongly recommend that parents avoid comparisons. Each child with autism is unique, and as a result, their programs, intervention strategies, and rate of progress will differ. Regarding these concerns, we should think about:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-391a59a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"391a59a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why is my child making slow progress in their training?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39eda16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39eda16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Intervention is a long-term process, typically spanning 3 to 5 years, or even longer.

We understand that most parents are especially concerned with their child&#8217;s language development. Our goal aligns with that of the parents: to help children communicate fully and become more verbal. However, it\u2019s important to recognize that intervention is a gradual process that requires step by step.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Before focusing on language development, children need to master several foundational skills. First, we must address behaviors that may interfere with learning or hinder meaningful progress, such as repetitive behaviors, emotional meltdowns, and resistance to cooperation. Once these issues are effectively managed, we can shift our focus to building &#8220;learning how to learn&#8221; skills. For example, children need to learn how to remain calm, maintain focus, take initiative, engage in learning with effort, and respond appropriately to feedback. Without these essential &#8220;learning how to learn&#8221; skills, it is extremely difficult for children to become independent learners.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Children with ASD who lack motivation and these foundational learning skills, even with intensive intervention, will struggle to acquire other necessary skills. By focusing on developing these &#8220;learning how to learn&#8221; skills, we not only help children become more effective learners but also enable them to learn more efficiently, often picking up new skills on their own without explicit teaching. This highlights the importance of parents maintaining patience throughout this journey.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36dd572 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"36dd572\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85c411c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85c411c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/autismpartnership.com.hk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Autism Partnership (AP)<\/a>, we adopt our very own treatment method called, Autism Partnership Method (APM\u2122).
