Hello, thank you for your kind comment. We are glad that you have found our videos helpful! Diet such as high sugar intake in children do affect their overall regulation whether they are on the spectrum or not. As for the other more specific dietary plans, there has not been enough research to support the effects it has on a child's behavior. As ABA is known as the gold-standard and most research-proven approach, we at EAP focus on behavioral strategies to help our kiddos with their regulation and attention.
@@autismmalaysia Thank you forbyour quick response. My 3 and half year old boy can perform well at jigsaws, matching, colouring... The table games. But, he cannot maintain enough attention to play a game of catch the ball. He can pedal a tricycle. But, he cannot complete a stretch of cycling. He gets distracted by a twig or wrapper lying on the floor or geometrical shapes on the houses. He cannot sustain attention in a conversation. But can sit down and complete a 60 pieces jigsaw, can complete a a4 size picture using 6 or more xolours without spilling out of borders. But he cant pass the ball more than two times.How can i improve on his selective attention?
Hello, thank you for sharing. We would recommend following the ABA principles of breaking skills down, reinforcement and practice. We recommend breaking the skills you want your child to learn down into simple steps and reinforcing each step with highly motivating items. We would also recommend to use visuals to communicate the expectations he would need to have for the activity. For example, to use a visual to communicate how many rounds of tricycle riding he will need to complete. With every cycle/round, he is then reinforced with his favourite snack. These reinforcements can then be faded off gradually as your child becomes more fluent in the task through practice. If you would like to find out more about ABA principles and how to teach your child using those strategies, do check out our Teaching a Child with Autism series here: ruclips.net/video/akDH-Wpj-iw/видео.html We hope that this will be helpful to you. Do reach out to us at enquries@autismmalaysia.com if you would like to speak or discuss specific strategies for your child. Thank you.

Hi, I have an almost a 5 years old who only has just started school (mainstream)6 weeks ago. I don’t think he learn much at school. He isn’t engaged with them and they aren’t firm enough with him. He is in school 6.5 hrs a day. I teach him in the morning before he go to school and in the afternoon. Could you please suggest hour many hours should I teach him or get him to the activities and over hour many times in one day. We talk and ask him a lot naturally without having to do a proper sit down. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks
Hello Guest A, thank you for reaching out to us and for sharing. Based on your sharing, we would suggest for him to start with having him in a smaller group of peers then gradually building up the size of the group. If possible, we would also suggest having a discussion with his school teachers if they are able to break down the skills for him so that he is more successful. It would also be great if reinforcements could be high as a motivation for him to follow school routines and tasks. It is great to hear that you work with him before and after school hours. We would also suggest to structure up his learning times such as alternating learning times at the table and play times out of table, using visuals and reinforcements to ensure motivation and provide predictability. We are unable to provide a more comprehensive recommendation without first meeting with your child. We hope that the suggestions above are helpful. Should you wish to discuss further on more specific strategies, kindly send in your enquiries to enquries@autismmalaysia.com and our team would love to get in touch with you for a screening appointment to get to know your child better. Thank you.
Hi… my 5 year old son has autism. He has an habit of hitting others kids (pulling hair)including his small 1 yr old sister.we can’t set him free in mall or park etc in a fear he might hit other kids .. please help 🙏
Hello and thank you for reaching out. There are a few ways we can approach in managing this behavior. You can teach him the expectations of having nice hands through video models and social story. Another preventative method is to occupy his hands with an item when he is near other children such as a squishy ball or a fidget so that he is able to squeeze the item in his hand which is a more appropriate behavior. At this point in time, it would be advisable to always have adult supervision when he is with other children until he builts fluency in practicing the expected behaviors. We have also previously released a series on Managing Challenging Behaviors on our channel which may be helpful to you. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/zMPXW7C7EnM/видео.html Should you have further questions or would like to speak with any one of our team, please feel free to send in your enquiries to enquiries@autismmalaysia.com and our team would be able to connect with you to provide more specific strategies. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. Limiting screen time can be helpful in allowing children to be occupied meaningfully through plays and interaction with others. This comes closely with increasing communication practices as you mentioned. Having screen time as a reward system after doing a task would be helpful in building cooperation as well. We hope you have found our videos helpful!

Mam....my child is 2.6 years baby boy....still he is not speaking verbally words....autism people will speak out or not...this is very big fought to me mam
Hello and thank you for reaching out. The ability for a child to speak varies from child to child. Some children may take some time to verbally speak and some may use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. We have also released a series on Speech, Language and Communication on our channel that you may find helpful. You can find our videos here: ruclips.net/video/OFLlo61JcVw/видео.html We hope that this is helpful. Have a good day!
Hello and thank you for reaching out. We have released a series on Managing Challenging Behaviors which also explains on self-stimulatory behaviors. The link to the first video in the series can be found here: ruclips.net/video/zMPXW7C7EnM/видео.html Typically, we would encourage for the behavior to be put on extinction by not giving it attention. We would also encourage for the child to be redirected to activities that requires attention so as to reduce the practice of verbally self-stimulating when the child is focused on these tasks. Examples of these activities could be puzzles, attention building activities and interactive plays. Feel free to check out the different activity ideas in our Play Series. The link to the first video in the series can be found here: ruclips.net/video/ljiThcNLI1I/видео.html The Play series will also be helpful to provide you with ideas on activities you can do with your child when you facilitate peer plays. We would also start by teaching the skills needed to have a successful peer play in a 1:1 setting such as waiting, taking turns, winning/losing, being a good sport and many more. Depending on the child's skill sets, we would start the child off successful by having short peer plays with 2-3 activities facilitated by an adult where the targets can be focused on taking turns, waiting and staying with peer. For children who are intermediate to advanced learners, the facilitator would typically start the play off and fade back his/her presence to allow for the kiddos to interact and provide any promptings if needed occasionally. We hope that this is helpful. If you would like to find out more about how you can facilitate your own peer plays, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at enquiries@autismmalaysia.com and our team would love to get in touch with you. Thank you and have a good day!

Can I use eatables like very small pieces of biscuit as reinforcement?
Hi, thank you for reaching out! Yes you certainly can - snacks are usually one of the highest reinforcers for some of our kiddos as well!
