Therapies at Sunway Medical Centre

I saw this post in draft mode, dated September 2013 so I decided to finish it.

I have just noticed that after last mentioning about the Speech & Hearing Centre in this post I have never actually provided more information or review about their services

Speech Therapy

ST is professionally executed, and the therapist is good at providing exercises and handling a child in the sessions.

However, the therapist who was assigned to us was quite young and is not patient enough to handle an autistic child. The therapist would be angry if our son started to lose his interest or begin to do something else.

As parents, we know this isn't healthy and that's not how it's supposed to be.

Occupational Therapy

OT on the other hand is excellent and to our satisfaction. This is probably because OT is usually related to some kind of disability, not only speech trouble.

Conclusion

When choosing a speech therapist, or if you're in a medical center, look for/ask for someone who is experienced in handling similar cases. Like for our case, we should have asked for someone who have experience in handling autistic children and is very patient.

Because we paid for packages, we ended up forfeiting a few sessions because we felt that the speech therapist is not helping. I can't seem to remember the total cost for each package, and I have lost my organizational skills so I am unsure where the receipts are. If I find them I will update.
