Goh Pei Ming on early intervention support for children
The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) funds the Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC), delivered by social service agencies, and EIPIC-P, delivered by appointed private providers, with means-tested fee caps to ensure affordability. Each child, including those with a confirmed or suspected autism diagnosis, has an education plan tailored to their developmental needs. Parents seeking supplementary intervention can tap the Child Development Account to pay for services by ECDA-registered providers. Minister of State for Social and Family Development Goh Pei Ming said this in parliament on Wednesday (Apr 8) in reply to an MP’s questions.
