Supporting Your Child – A Parent’s Guide for Young Children who need Early Intervention
Learning that your child has special needs is the start of a journey into the unknown.
To support parents and caregivers of preschool-aged children who may have developmental needs, MSF, ECDA and MOE have published a guide to empower you to find out more about:
- Your child’s development,
- Accessing Early Intervention (EI) support,
- Supporting your child’s transition from EI to school-aged provisions, and
- Accessing support for yourself and your family.
Inside the guide, caregivers can access resources to equip themselves as caregivers:
- Check out community events
CaringSG’s CAREconnect activities build on caregiving knowledge and skills, improve family bonding, and strengthen families’ connection with neighbourhoods and community partners. Follow us on Facebook to be updated of the latest events.
