The FEP is made up of three specialists – a speech language therapist, an occupational therapist and a psychologist. They visit families to understand their lifestyle outside school and to coach parents on how to interpret and respond to their children's behaviour in real-time situations.

Specialists regularly visit the homes of families to provide specialised help. It is highly targeted and tailored to the needs of each family and child. The programme has helped 75 families and provide extra support to caregivers of children with developmental needs.

We hope that through this programme, ASD children can become more disciplined at home and calm in school, and help parents to better manage their autistic children's challenging behaviour.
