Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children

Through the Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC), we support families of children who require medium to high levels of early intervention support, providing therapy and educational support for infants and young children with developmental needs.

The programme equips them with fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication, social, and self-help skills, and offers a continuum of services, with varying intensities of interventions to meet the different needs of children, and flexibility to vary intervention as needed over time. These include sub-programmes such as Under 2s, EIPIC@Centre, High Needs and DS Plus.

EIPIC is conducted at the SPD Ability Centre in Tiong Bahru (opened in September 2011) as well as at its satellite centre in Jurong (opened in June 2012). In August 2016, two new satellite centres in Tampines and Bedok were opened to serve more children with developmental needs.
