Hey who’s matt, is he the boy who has problems interacting in a society understood by apathy. The people around him mentally pound, beat the saneness inside of him. Even his own parents wouldn’t acknowledge the point that he has some problems that even his own mind cannot comprehend. Should there be someone helping him.

Hi,

I just want to know if there are some schools in Manila that adapt the ‘Shadow Teaching’ method or if there are good shadow teachers available who could be hired personally by families to look after their kids in school, coordinate with the teachers regarding the child’s performance in school and acts as a tutor and personal trainer of the child. Do we have specialized teachers in this field?

Regards,
Maryanne

Dear Kristina,
We are looking for a shadow teacher and therapist for our 8 year old Son in Kuwait. He was diagnozed as ADHD. We need someone with a great understanding of social communication (in English) and with behavior training. We will offer a generous compensation package. Where can I find such a candidate in the Philippines and interested in working abroad?
Thanks!

@maricon, am really agreeing with you—the right school and teachers who are well trained in teaching autistic kids has been crucial for our son. And love and devotion make a big difference too for sure.
