Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children – Care (EIPIC-Care)
Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children – Care (EIPIC-Care) is a pilot programme for caregivers of 2-to-3-year-old children with developmental needs, who require medium levels of Early Intervention support.
By providing tailored workshops and parent-child coaching sessions with Associate Psychologists, EIPIC-Care seeks to equip caregivers with knowledge and strategies to provide a first line of support to their children.
EIPIC-Care consists of 3 modules. Upon completion, children may go on to an appropriate EI programme (e.g., EIPIC, DS-Plus), if needed.
Eligibility
The EIPIC-Care pilot will be implemented in a community-based centre in the Northeast region.
Caregivers will be referred to the programme if their children meet the following criteria:

- Singaporean Citizens or Permanent Residents
- Residing within the pilot region(s)
- Require medium levels of early intervention support, as assessed by a paediatrician1
1 The paediatrician should be registered with the Singapore Medical Council. He/she should also confirm that child’s needs can be supported by EIPIC-Care.
