Any parent care to share what they teach at EIP that is different from other normal kindergarten? I am wondering if I should enrol my kid to EIP since he is behaving and learning well at his kindergarten.

Are you referring to an EIPIC center in this case?

At my doter's EIPIC center which offers the school preparatory program, the EIPIC team focuses on the following areas: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, adaptive skills, cognitive skills, social communications and social skills.

Adaptive skills refer to the ability of the child to be functional, eg. toilet training and buying food. Social comms refers to communication of needs, eg. child being able to tell what he wants. Each child is supported by an Individual Education Plan which is a 6-month plan that sets out the objectives, targets and activities that the child undergoes in school. The child's family is required to support the child with a home program that in turn supports the IEP.

The teachers are trained in special needs so they know how to support the child better in behavior and learning methods. The teacher and student ratio is smaller to have better attention on individual kids. The classroom is also designed with more visual cues as these children tend to be visual learners. There are periodic OT, SLT and sensory play sessions to address the specific deficits of the children.

Hope this information is helpful?

Your post is hilarious. Ah so, SA does not know about the new covenant and shows no Grace. If you do not have a good experience in the school, why do you still want to send your boy there? :scratchhead:

He is there to realize my late father's wet dreams. Third generation Saint.

I think most schools were generally more regimental during our time as compared to now. Even NS is said to be more 'relak' these days

double e, im looking at mild special needs column..


so all primary schools will not reject our sped child . unlike prschool?

Primary school wouldn't reject your children especially when your child just enters primary school. E.g. P1 pupils.

However, if there's physical involvement such as fighting and it happens often, certain school would ask your children to leave their school.

P.S. Don't ask me what is the school name. I don't have any idea. This is based on what I've heard from my ST.

"More help needed for parents of disabled", just read this article in ST today and feel very sad for mother who have 2 kids with Autism (i can feel her pain as i also have 2 Autistic kids).

What are the options there for her if something happen to both parents as her husband is already diagnosed Stage 4 lung cancer?

I think we are the only one going through nightmares :frustrated: .
My daughter only want to sleep with me and she can wakeup like around 11:00pm then 2:30am then 4:30am and then will sleep in morning when time to go EPIC and Childcare :nailbite: . This Friday she woke up at 12am and didn't slept till 4:30 :yikes: , i was like GOD please . If she wakeup and cry my son also wakeup so me and my wife both have to be up.
I hope you can get some answer and maybe i also get some help :imdrowning: .

BTW i remember before we had kids, every Saturday my wife wake up around 9+ now both of us get up around 5 :gloomy: .

I can’t help you about getting your kids to sleep longer - my ASD girl always took a long time to fall asleep, sometimes more than an hour. She also tended to wake very early if she fell asleep early. I told her that she could not leave her bed once we had put her to bed (except for emergencies) and she should not leave her bed in the morning until a certain time (that was once she could tell time a bit, around 4yo?). Even when she left her bed, she could not disturb us until a certain time. She could play quietly or read, but she would have to stay in her room and not wake her sister. Keep up the training and they will leave you alone eventually.
