About
CHOO KAH YING
When Kah Ying struggled with the aggression of her adolescent son in the urban structures of Singapore, she embarked on an extraordinary journey to construct “Bali Bubble”. Her success would lead her to develop EpiEco — an empathetic caregiving focused on training caregivers to have an accurate understanding of the uniqueness of autistic individuals. She is the author of a no-holds-barred memoir, Where Does My Autistic Son Belong? and EpiEco: An Autism Caregiving Model, as well as the co-founder of A Mother’s Wish.
