A blessing for children with special needs — an internationally recognized, science-based behavioral rehabilitation program.
The Competent Learner Model (CLM) is an intensive, individualized and systematic teaching program that focuses on developing the skills a learner lacks — observing, listening, talking, participating, reading, writing and problem-solving.
It is a science-based rehabilitation program recognized by the applied behavior analysis community. Through remote coaching from CLM coaches, parents and children are trained together, so that a child receives consistent learning across different settings and develops every skill comprehensively.
CLM is widely used within rehabilitation systems for children on the autism spectrum, turning real life into the classroom and helping each child grow, step by step, into a "competent learner."
CLM does more than teach a single subject — it builds transferable, generalizable abilities so children can learn and live across different environments.
Guiding children to notice their surroundings and others, learning to attend to key cues as a foundation for imitation and learning.
Strengthening the understanding of language and sound, so children can follow instructions, respond when called and keep up with conversation.
From articulation and naming to expressing needs and feelings, helping children build proactive, clear spoken communication.
Cultivating turn-taking, waiting, cooperation and joint attention, so children can join in games, class and group activities.
From recognizing characters and decoding to understanding meaning, steadily building a love of reading and the ability to process written information.
From holding a pen and tracing to writing and self-expression, developing fine motor skills and the ability to record and communicate in writing.
Teaching children to think, try and ask for help when facing difficulties, forming flexible, independent coping strategies.
CLM coaches work closely with families, using measurable goals and data to support steady progress for every child.
CLM coaches talk in depth with parents to understand the child's development, behavioral characteristics and family needs.
Based on the child's actual abilities, we jointly define achievable, stage-by-stage short- and mid-term rehabilitation goals.
We systematically observe and assess the child's seven core skills in real-life situations to identify strengths and gaps.
Drawing on the assessment results, we tailor a personalized CLM rehabilitation program and step-by-step teaching sequence.
Through remote supervision, coaches train parents and children so that the same training is carried out consistently across settings.
The rehabilitation team evaluates progress periodically, adjusts the plan accordingly and sets goals for the next stage.
CLM carries recognition from authoritative international bodies and patent protection from the National Copyright Administration — and Maxstar is the first medical institution in China authorized to bring CLM in.
Every child with special needs deserves a rehabilitation program that is scientific, systematic and caring. Leave us your details and our CLM coaching team will contact you soon to design a growth plan made just for your child.
