Most of private eipic do not know there such things so they miss out the application . Also alot things are require to take part in it . Like they must have a team of therapist n their own physcologist & etc to qualify…
Once they outsource some specialist they can’t join. -

I heard the government will announce in Oct that they will subsidize $300 per mth for private intervention. Previously, this subsidy only applies to kids who are waiting for vacancies from Government EIPIC and taking up private intervention during the interim. If this is true, it will be great as I am considering to send my boy for private EIPIC at Leapfrog.
Double E, where to find the full information on this announcement? -

Am a bit confused on what private EIPIC refers to. I have always thought that EIPIC is a full program that takes on a multi-prong approach on ST, OT etc. There is usually a EIPIC team that oversees the progress of the child and each child is given an IEP and IFSP upon consultation with parents.
I have always thought that private therapy centres like Leapfrog offer programs on speech therapy and/or OT, social skills etc. The programs are usually individualised and its up to parents what they want to choose for their kids - the concept is like enrichment except we usually call them therapy programs becasue of their nature. Do they offer EIPIC programs too as what I have described above? -
Yes, I strongly feel that there should be more private EIPIC centres. Currently, most private centres provide specific therapy services such as OT, ST and PT.
My childcare centre has recently collaborated with a private centre called Kidspace Learning Place providing EIPIC and school preparatory programmes. They will incorporate OT and ST within their programmes depending on the needs of the child. From what I know, parents told me their fees are quite reasonable. Some of our children with learning difficulties and behavioural challenges have started to attend their programmes. Seems like the children have shown some improvement in their class participation. Hope there will be more of such centres… -
Is it true that CEL only refers children to EIPIC run by VWOs? They should also refer children to private EIPIC centres since the queue for the VWO-run EIPIC centres is rather long.

Early intervention and detection will save your child.

Hi Mummies,
i need your opinion on below
My fren’s son is in Montessori school. he was vomiting and coughing and going through a difficult time at the school before the class started. His teachers saw it but none of them offered any helping hand to him. The boy’s grandma was holding him and helping him, teachers who walked past him again didn’t say a word.
to me, teachers are not caring at all. even though this is not a childcare centre, but if teachers know a boy is under distress, and yet they ignore him, is it common in enrichment class/school? I thought the basic that a teacher can do is to ask what happen to him, whether they need any help or anything? even outside in shopping mall, passer-by would stop and offer a helping hand, not to mention that the kid is already in his school and the teachers all know him.
When i know about this, i am very disheartening. it shocked me further that my fren was told that usually enrichment teachers ignore all these as there are so many kids having the same problems every now and then. If so, you shouldn’t call yourself teachers and your school shouldnt be running, or you need to let parents know about this at enrolment. I want to find out what’s the normal practice in today’s preschool.
Thanks.
