well anyway..since i am up on the net..would just like acknowledge the fact about this "work" or to say volunteering i am doing..
SMARTER is a center for autistic children. Each month the therapists teach their children to do a specific task..since they can't process multi tasks, they are taught step by step. For example going to the toilet, the kids cannot do this unless they are taught step by step, first we have to show what and where is the toilet, then how to open the door of the toilet, turn the door knob clockwise, how to enter the toilet and so onAt the end of each month there is a special task, which they are "trained" for. The month of July, the task was 'Camping overnight at Berakas Beach'', August it's "going out to Mc donalds", September is 'Visiting the Barber' and so on.... These tasks are everyday life task that we might find easy but for these kids not so..
