    A celebration party is supposed to be full of joy. However, Fung caused his mother to feel heartbroken at the party. Fung hid in a corner to clean up while all the other children were having fun aside. \u201cIt hurt me. He was not good at joining others and what he did was meaningless. But we were fortunate to join the \u201cLearning Buddies\u201d service programme, which has helped Fung not to isolate himself from people any longer,\u201d said Fung\u2019s mother.<\/p>

    Fung was rigid in the past. For instance, he had his own way to play with toys, always stuck to a fixed walking route, and would easily lose his temper whenever unsatisfied. Fung was also afraid of strangers, especially when other children invited him to play together, he would instantly stay away from them. The mother recalled, \u201cHis behaviours made me angry and depressed. Our family was filled with gloom at that time. I did not want him to spend a lonely school life. I hoped he could make some changes.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    After receiving Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) treatment, Fung acted less rigid and his compliance and compatibility improved as a whole. The mother has witnessed his changes, \u201cAs Fung\u2019s concentration and language skills have enhanced, he can sit properly in a class, dare to talk to strangers, and comply with different game rules now. He even taught me new games at home which built a better connection within our family, so I heaved a sigh of relief.\u201d Along the way, the mother gradually put aside her anxiety.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Under the guidance of therapists, Fung has started to enjoy playing with peers. On his graduation day, the therapists presented \u201cThe Most Collaborative Award\u201d to recognise his improvement. Everyone believes that his maturity and calmness will bring him a happy school life onwards!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
