Secondly, the control group receives special education in special school, which including clustered classes (feel integrative training, music, game, painting and detailed training) and individual classes (language, math, detailed training and music). Every child has the same classes a week and the same training time. The experiment group receives eight times Family Therapy, which is based on special education. The therapy is every two hours once a week which last for three months. Thirdly, posttest is leaded a week after the therapy for both groups to assess the effect of the experiment.
