You will not be blamed.
Many parents are already trying very hard. We start by understanding what is happening, not judging your response.

About CJ Lim
I spent over 10 years seeing what happens before the difficult moment.
“Every behaviour may be telling us something. When we understand the pattern, the next step becomes clearer.”
That belief shapes how I support parents. I help you understand what may be happening behind your child’s communication, regulation, routines, and daily home challenges, then plan what to try next.
Why parents work with me
Parents usually come to APC when they feel stuck, guilty, or unsure what their child is communicating.
You get practical direction.
Sessions focus on what you can observe, adjust, and try in real routines at home or school.
Your child is respected.
APC focuses on understanding patterns and supporting the child, not forcing behaviour to look “normal.”
My background
Training that shapes how I support parents.
These qualifications help me understand autism, communication, regulation, learning, and everyday family routines. I translate them into practical parent guidance, not clinical therapy.
M.A. Special and Inclusive Education University of Nottingham
This supports my understanding of autism, inclusive learning, school participation, and how children may need support to access learning in different environments.
Active Hanen credentials Learning Language and Loving It™, ABC and Beyond™, and SPARK Communication™
Hanen training helps adults support children’s communication through everyday routines, waiting, modelling, shared attention, and responsive interaction.
Regulation and participation training RMTi Level 1 and 2, with SCERTS-informed support
CJ has completed the 3-day SCERTS training, covering neurodevelopment, communication stages, emotional regulation, support planning, learning environments, and progress monitoring. APC may integrate relevant SCERTS concepts into parent education and home support planning. APC does not provide official SCERTS training.
Speech, oral-motor, and feeding awareness TalkTools Level 1 and 2
This helps me notice possible speech clarity, oral-motor, and feeding-readiness factors. APC does not replace speech therapy or feeding therapy.
APC can help parents understand and implement guidance at home, especially when families are also working with speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, teachers, or doctors. APC does not replace those professionals.
How I work
I help parents slow down, notice patterns, and respond with more confidence.
In APC sessions, we look at what is happening before, during, and after difficult moments. We consider communication, regulation, routines, environment, and adult responses.
From there, we plan practical next steps that are realistic for your family.
Clear scope
APC is parent education and practical home support planning.
APC is not an ABA provider, diagnostic service, therapy clinic, OT, speech therapy, psychology service, medical provider, or crisis support service.
