Clara Ong Relief teacher
Occupation : Professional
Industries : Education
I was a trained primary school teacher, specializing in helping children with special learning needs which include autism, ADHD, mentally challenged. I learned that parents of these group of children need more help especially some one who could understand and listen to them.

As my own child has some learning issues when she was young, I understood perfectly what a parent in singapore will go through and feel when his child prepares for PSLE etc.

Sometimes, these parents just need an outlet to express their feeling or someone who could provide that support.

I believe with the many years of experience I have gone through, I can do the job of helping these parents especially from SPARK ( singapore) well.
