Parents' Concern - Language Delay, Behavior Problems and Attention Difficulties 父母的擔憂：孩子語言發展遲緩，出現行為問題，很難專注
Before the 5 Day APM training, we had an interview with Paul’s mother in sharing her concerns of Paul’s development. 在開展5天的 #APM訓練 前，謙謙媽媽跟我們分享了她對謙謙的發展的擔心。
Paul is currently 3 years and 9 month old, now attending K2 (Kindergarten) in Hong Kong. He was diagnosed with ASD at 3 years and 5 months old. His mum reported that he exhibits #languagedelay, can only say short simple sentences. He has difficulty in speaking in longer sentences and following 2 steps or more instructions. 謙謙現在3歲9個月大，上幼稚園低班（K2）。他在3歲5個月大時確診患有 #自閉症。謙謙的媽媽反映她發現謙謙有語言發展遲緩的現象，只能夠說簡短的句子。他在說長句子和執行兩部分（或以上）的指令方面有困難。
Paul presents several behaviour problems. He is unable to sustain attention nor focus on tasks at school or at home. Although Paul is generally able to listen to parents, he will cry and throw tantrum daily, especially when his requests are denied. He also has eating problem, requiring 6 hours to complete a meal. 謙謙也表現出一些 #行為問題，不論是在家或學校裡，他都難以保持專注。雖然謙謙一般都能聽父母的話，但他每天都會哭鬧和發脾氣，尤其是當他的要求被拒絕的時候。他也有進食問題，需要6個小時才能吃完一頓飯。
Mum hopes that in this 5-day training, Paul can improve various skills to prepare him for #school, including following #instructions, #waiting patiently, and completing tasks and activities #independently. 媽媽希望在這5天ABA訓練中，謙謙在多方面的技能都能有所改善，包括 #聽從指令，#耐心等待，#獨立完成任務 和活動，為入學做好準備。
Stay tuned next week to learn more about Paul and his #progress made in AP with effective ABA training! 下週，我們會跟大家分享謙謙在香港AP中心開始 #ABA訓練 前的情況及他在 5天內取得的顯著進步，敬請關注！
