a student who had full-day early intervention at AP Singapore.
Jamie started intensive ABA therapy at 2 years 10 months, mostly non-verbal. A couple of months into therapy, he started using language to communicate. Two years on — through our APM® — he moved into a mainstream school setting, with the right support around him.
Jamie began full-day intensive ABA therapy at Autism Partnership Singapore when he was 2 years and 10 months old. Before starting, his parents shared that he rarely used words to communicate. He knew some words, but he would often grab their arm or lead them to what he wanted — usually without making eye contact.
Although Jamie could generally follow his parents, he cried and had meltdowns daily, especially when a request was denied. And while he loved playing with his older brother and his parents, he would push away his younger sister and other children, sometimes screaming when they came close.
In this one-year recap, see how our team help Jamie build the essential foundations for learning while gradually moving him from 1:1 therapy to learning in groups, step by step toward school readiness.
From grabbing and leading to using his words and language — including saying “mum” and “dad” for the first time, with eye contact.
Previously selective in choosing playmates, Jamie now plays and socializes with his younger sister and other children.
The daily meltdowns have eased as Jamie learned to communicate his needs and cope when things don’t go his way.
Foundational learning skills — attending, imitating and following instructions — that make every new skill easier to teach.
Through small-group learning and school-readiness skills, Jamie built the foundations he needed to learn in a classroom.
We understand how overwhelming all of this can feel. Every child’s journey is their own — and it starts with a conversation. At Autism Partnership, as our name suggests, partnership comes first: we sit down with parents, listen, and align on what’s right for your child before the journey begins, together.

APM® — the Autism Partnership Method — is our own progressive model of ABA therapy, refined over more than 30 years of clinical practice, based on research and evidence.
APM® works with the whole child to build critical foundation skills for long-term success — including behavior management, communication & language skills, play and social skills, and learning-how-to-learn skills for school readiness.
