Hi folks, I worked for a short time with http://www.enigmainstitute.net in Bangkok. They are a group of tutors using mostly Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment program with kids with an assortment of learning difficulties, including Aspergers. Really interesting! They were getting some incredible results. If you are in need of someone like these to help, they are worth checking out.

Hi everybody,
My friend has autistic boy (Thai), he is now graduating grade 9 from a private school having autistic program. Unfortunately, the school ends only at grade 9 and she finds it’s very difficult to find further school in Bangkok match and care for autistic persons.
Any recommendations from this network would be very appreciated. Otherwise, homeschool seems to be the only choice for family with autistic teenagers.

Hi Emma,
I have just viewed this site and wondered if your plans to expand your school to teach autistic children had progressed and are up and running. My partner’s son is autistic and although we can provide him with special needs tuition in bangkok, i am interested to know of other locations in thailand which offer special needs tuition as i would prefer to live outside bangkok. I think many families of autistic children would be interested because to my knowledge practically all special needs tuition is centered in the capitol which can be very restrictive. Hope things have worked out for you and await your reply.

many thanks, Kevin.

Dear Emma Dyas,

I have come across this site and found your post here. Though it was a year ago, I would like to find out if this project has been set-up already or not. I’ve hold a master degree in Early Childhood Education and a Montessori certified with more than 5 years teaching experience in US. I’m now full-time homeschooling my 6 years old son who has autism. I am Thai living in Penang, Malaysia, and really interested in working with children with special needs. Please contact me if your school still needs teachers.

Best Regards,

Hi my son has been diagnose with autism last year. He is 4 years old and is currently enrolled in pre-school at a special school in Australia. I have heard from a Thai friend that she has seen great improvement in her nephew’s life (who is now a teenage boy). I am extremely interested in going to Thailand to see if there is any way possible to help improve my son’s life. He is full of character but keeps shuting us out of his world and I am worry about his well-being when he’s all grown up. I am Thai and have family support in Thailand if need to be there for more longer than a few months. Please advise.

Hi just checking if anyone tried to contact Dr Penkhae Limsila? From my recent trip, I was informed that the Learning Disabilities Association of Thailand will be formed shortly, and headed by a Dr Padoong. Perhaps this info will be useful for some of you here. His email is: “padoong arrayavinyoo”

Best wishes.

Dear Dr Chew and all,
As informed in an earlier posting, my contact has managed to call on Dr Penkhae Limsila at the Yuwaprasart Waithayopathum Hospital. Her contact is 662-3843-3813 ext 1214. Her email is p-limsia@hotmail.com. Her specialisation is child psychology. She says she is very busy these 2 months and will not be able to see any new patients. My friend says Dr Penkhae speaks good English. I hope this info will be useful. Have a good weekend ahead.
