AP LP | 1:1 ABA Therapy Program — Autism Partnership Singapore

Rapid & Intensive Program for Children with Autism

We have worked with over 3,000 kids worldwide.

Jumpstart Program Overview

5-10 Days Intensive Program

Jumpstart Program is an intensive five-day* intervention designed to identify your child’s programming needs and to provide recommendations for ongoing treatment and support. The intervention will be conducted directly by our supervisory level staff. A great opportunity for families who would like to see rapid progress with their child in a short period of time.

Accelerating Skills & Achieving Goals

The focus of the Jumpstart Program is to begin the process of intervention.

Every child is different and their program will be designed to address their individual needs. The program will begin by addressing those behaviors that interfere with the learning process and teaching the child these essential and prerequisite “learning how to learn” skills.

This intensive 5-day ABA program is designed to kickstart the process of intervention for your child.

Watch Our Clients Journey

Jamie's Progress Journey

Jamie has been receiving full day intensive ABA training at AP SG since 2 years and 10 months old (January 2020). Before receiving ABA intervention, his parents shared that he even though he knew some words, he only used his words to communicate very sparingly.

He often relied on grabbing their arm or taking them to something he wanted, without making eye contact. Although Jamie was generally able to listen to parents, he would cry and have meltdowns daily, especially when his requests were denied.

This was a concern for parents. Jamie only liked playing with his older brother and parents but not his younger sister and peers. He would often push them away and scream when they approach him.

Punneth's Journey

Puneeth started ABA intervention at AP Singapore at the age of 3 years 3 months. Before ABA intervention, Puneeth’s attention was short and fleeting. He was not able to sustain sitting down for long, and this made it difficult for him to learn.

His eye contact was also minimal and he would either gesture or talk to himself without directing it to others. As he was not communicating, he often did not get what he wanted. This was a frustration for his parents.

Often, he would also bang his head, cry and scream, and throw a big tantrum when he was being denied or when his toys were being taken away.

Customer Testimonials

"At the start , we were hesitant if Trix would participate given the new environment and teachers (who have different accent than us) who are total strangers to her. We were ecstatic to see her easily getting comfortable even at day 1 (WOW!!!) We have seen great improvement in Trix and joining the Jumpstart program was definitely a life changing experience for all of us. We love AP !!!”

“After our consultation with Autism Partnership Singapore and doing the Jumpstart Program, we have seen such progress in Kayleen’s verbal and non-verbal skills. Their staff are really friendly and they’ve been trained very well and are dedicated to their kids.”

“In the two years Xander has been with AP, we have seen him grow in many areas. He now communicates and initate communication, he independently perform tasks, he enjoys socialising. We now have a child who is no longer fearful or frustrated. The pride we see in his face when he masters a new task give us a immeasurable joy. I am hopeful now that he might be ready for the big world out there”

“Hugo was diagnosed with autism at 2 ½ years old. We were extremely fortunate to have been guided towards ABA therapy. During the eight months of home based therapy with AP Singapore, we saw the building blocks of development being created right before us and Hugo’s eye contact, engagement and communication all showed tremendous improvement.”
