      Mummies does yr eipic centre keep insisting to buy their school uniforms ??


      It's another kind of expenses ..why they can't give a thought . It's just barely 2hrs n 3 times a week only ..

      And it's not a school is a therapy centre , does u wear uniform to yr physio therapy ??!


      I know Rainbow requires the kids to wear uniform but I don't think other EIPIC centres require that. Maybe because Rainbow is a school (special needs school), that's why they want the children to be in uniform.

      Not true. My son's EIPIC also needs to wear uniform.

            Any idea the waiting time to PL? I'm wondering when is the earliest I can put my son in the queue, just in case.

            I was told at PL that the latest for an application to be put in is by the middle of the year for the child to start in the subsequent year. PL will conduct its own screening during the second half of each year to see if the child is suitable for enrolement. PL's official stance is that the waiting time is about 6 months to 1 year for placement in its P1 program.

            But fellow parents on the ground tell me that the waiting time is longer and applications should be submitted earlier. So honestly, I am not too sure what is the actual situation. Rule of thumb is to have enough time to do your ground work to prepare for your child's enrolment whether in PL or mainstream.

            One of the key items in this whole process is the IQ assessment that the child needs to undergo at about the age of 5.5 yo. Special schools like PL needs this IQ assessment report as part of its application documents. Mainstream schools would likely need this IQ assessment report too if you are going to inform the school about your child's special needs.

            So do work out the timelines early enough so that you are not caught too stressed up when it comes to your child's school enrolment.

            Hope this helps.

                Yup he is in morning class on Mon, Wed, Fri.. They required him to wear uniform cos sometimes they will bring him to playground for gross motors. They also train him to buy things at super market.

                Hence I think its better for them to wear uniform so its easier to recognize them in case they wander off.

                He goes to CC in the afternoon (in his EIPIC uniform) where my CC is kind enough to keep aside a lunch for him. They will shower him then let him have lunch then proceed with nap.

                  From what you have posted, you seemed to be like saying rainbow no good. Not efficient, very rigid, make things difficult for you, kid not showing progress...

                  Have faith and patience. My son only show progress after 6 months in EIPIC. And your son, like others mentioned umpteen times, seems to be very mild.

                  Maybe you shld seek 2nd opinion, for all you know, he might be misdiagnose.

                        What do you mean by 'dunno how to comprehend'?

                        Knowing how to answer questions such as those u listed is also comprehending.
