I will be moving to Shanghai in August 2009 with my 8 year old son who has ASD and sensory issues. What is the best place for services like speech language therapy and occupational therapy?
Do the schools have learning support at the schools like BISS and SAS in Pudong?
What are the additional costs of the services?
Where can I find a good specialist or consultant or tutor for my son after school?
Thanks again!

Hi, my son has autism and attends a great school here in Shanghai. My wife is one of the teachers there.

Let me know if I can help!!!

He must be a foreign passport holder though. The Chinese government will not allow Chinese citizens to attend this school.

Thanks a lot Dr. Chew! Yes, he was diagnosed in USA by one doctors. We have him evaluated by another doctor but she would not put this diagnosis on him because she thinks he is a little too young. But I am very concerned and want to find a program similar to those offered in USA. If he can receive good help in Shanghai I can let him stay here longer. Too much change in environment is not good for him. By the way, I called Qingcongquan but they have a long waiting list and are too far from my parents’.
Look forward to your response! Thanks again!

And what good “sense” it is to spend those cents, whether they be in ren min bi, euros, dollars….

“…every cent used to (educate) a …child is money well spent.” That’s a simple yet profound truth. It is true for disabled and nondisabled children. Disabled children cost a few more “cents” than the others.
