I'm a newbie here and just chanced upon this new inclusive preschool that I thought may be a useful information for you: http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/new-preschool-bright-path-will-cater-to-children-with-different-learning-needs
I have a family-friend who has a girl with learning disabilities. I know how tough the journey can be as parents so just hope that this can be something valuable to share. This is their website if you want to find out more: http://www.brightpath.com.sg
Be blessed!

Which part of Singapore do you stay? I believe you would want to find a preschool that is not too far from your home.

Zoemum, kindlegarden has a very long waiting list. I called them up in Dec.

I am new here but having the same problem as you guys.My child was dignosed with speech delay last year and now he will soon be enrolled into metta preschool. As some of the parents here might have children in that school you would know that they are only providing twice a week lesson for them. Being worried i am trying to heed some advice from parents who had been through this stage. I also have link up with sgenable for iccp program at PCS but nothing is confirm yet.As he is 5yrs this year. We are afriad that his learning abilites are really far behind.please advise on alternative learning oppotunities or some other ways you have been through. Truthly aprreciate your sharing.

I placed my son in my first skool and he was diagnosed with mild autism at 2 years old this year and I worked with first skool principal and teachers on my son’s needs. They were understanding as they have already gotten to know him when he was enrolled at 18 months. Initially they suggested special needs school but they became supportive and cos my son was mild and not disruptive they are ok. for that I’m grateful.


hope you managed to get a slot in childcare. 🙂

Anyone can share which mainstream childcare centres are willing to take in mild special need children.

Child need mainstream interaction.

Can pm me if you know of any.

Thank you.

I have a 4 yo whom I suspect he has Asperger symptom. He lacks eye contact and social skills. We also observed that he is unable to communicate properly with us, e.g: confuse ‘You’ and ‘I’.

Quite often he will have meltdowns with screaming and hitting due to his lack of social skills.

We have been refered to KKH but he is not confirmed or diagnosed as autistic. He only have been refered to OT(July) and next session is only in October.

However we strongly think that he has Asperger’s syndrome. We intend to send him for second opinion and diagnosis some where else. Currently he is in mainstream school (nursery-my first Skool) but we are exploring and considering other special schools in the east side.

1) I would appreciate if anyone could help provide any information or feedback of a school that we can consider sending him to next year (K1).
2) if anyone could recommend for second opinion?

Thanks all in advance!

Samantha

Is a tough journey for parent with special need child. It is hard to find a childcare centre that is willing to take in mild special need child.

Hi Gizmoz,


Yes my son is following up in KKH and now attending EPIC.
He is quite high functioning, however overall still slower than his peers. And when he has meltdown it is quite uncontrollable.
The child cares that I spoke to didn't even gave us a chance and rejected us when we told them my son is a special needs kid. Immediately write us off and sat that their teachers are not trained and cannot handle as the class size is big. Didn't even give us a chance or assess my son before even saying cannot accept.
So disappointed with our education system.
Thanks for your recommendation of Little Mighty Me. I will check it out.
Maybe look at it this way. It is better that the school declares upfront that it is not able to handle your child, rather than to let your child enrol and subsequently neglect him when they are not able to cope.

Dont give up. It took me about 1 year previously to look for a suitable MS childcare center for my ASD doter, so have to keep on trying. There are a lot of parents like us going through the same anguish, so you are not alone.

You can drop by the ASD thread, and there is a wealth of information on this. Just that have to plough through the 500+ pages. Hope this helps.

Is your child in EIPIC? Can ask your doctor to recommend your child for ICCP? cos ICCP waitlist is quite long.


How "difficult" is your child? cos if not too difficult, the school should be able to take them in. my son has behavioural problems and need more attention in class. his childcare cannot handle his needs becos they have just enough manpower to handle the standard classroom size. they cannot attend to my boy only and neglect the other kids. haiz… im so sick and tired of them telling me this.

Punggol there is one cc that takes in special needs kids, Little Mighty Me. can call them up to check but currently they are full.

I am also keen to know any childcare or kindergarten that accept special needs kids. (Esp around Sengkang area)
Went to 2-3 childcare but all rejected my ds as they mentioned they are not trained.

Very disappointing that support for special needs kids are not available.

Also wondering if we should not declare to the child care up front that ds is austic so that at least he can get enrolled.
