Jasmine Ng was a primary school teacher, but chose to leave teaching nine years ago due to the neurological effects of a car accident. She decided to take care of herself at home. Feeling overwhelmed with the responsibility of her three special needs children, she had a thought: if she couldn’t help her own children break through their own barriers, how could she be qualified to teach other people’s children? Therefore, she made the decision to home-school her own children full-time.
Her eldest child made significant progress, has grown and matured, and now, at 16, has just completed his IGCSE exams and is preparing to enter university. Her second child is currently a student in year 8 of an international school, and his academic progress no longer requires Jasmine’s constant concern, thanks to the techniques she development to assist him with his autism.
Her youngest son benefitted from her technique which stimulated the oral muscles and helped him develop language abilities. It took him nine months to learn all 26 English letters when he was six years old, and it took several years to teach him various subjects in his studies.
As a result of her children’s experiences, Jasmine’s determination in special education has been strengthened. In Malaysia, she has established five training centres, as well as one in Livingstone, Scotland, UK.
Special Needs Children: Transforming Daily Life to Success
The teaching method that resulted from Jasmine’s experience with her own children is ‘Junior Minds.’ ‘Junior Minds’ aims to connect with teachers and/or parents worldwide so that they can engage in discussions on how to better support children with autism. Jasmine’s book “What to Do When You Have a Special Needs Child “includes a range of successful case studies and teaching methods that will be
shared in her presentation.
