Child welfare

This book describes an intervention model for children with Autism, targeting to act as a guide for parents with children with special needs. As parents play an important role in their child's lives, it is crucial that they are guided and trained to work with and interact with their child. The framework for intervention in this book is named Comprehensive Model for Early Intervention (CMEI), which is an amalgamation of various evidence-based interventions for children with Autism. In this book, four stages of intervention are described in detail, each targeting different stages of development of the child. The four stages of intervention are home-based ABA therapy, small group intervention, school shadow support, and social skills intervention.

Alex Liau obtained his degree in Psychology at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He has many years of experience working with children exhibiting a wide array of learning and behavior difficulties, with many diagnosed as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He received training on Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) in Australia and subsequently went to Houston, Texas to receive Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) training under Dr. Steven Gutstein and Dr. Rachel Sheely. He has presented in Australia, Houston, and Singapore and has been invited to participate in interviews by the press in Singapore. Additionally, he has worked with clients from various countries like China, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. He has also mentored and trained many therapists throughout his career. His interest in children with special needs started while he was concentrating on Childhood Psychology and pursued a research project on autism and related disorders. The many successful cases he achieves while working intensively with children with ASD made him a firm believer of early intervention and other comprehensive, experimentally proven therapies. Alex has the ability to harness the confidence and self-esteem of these children which in turn enable them to be more receptive to compliance training and regain the ability to learn and progress. Alex resides in Singapore.
