More support in preschools for children with developmental needs
SINGAPORE: A workgroup involving the public and private sectors will be set up to help make pre-schools more inclusive, Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee announced on Wednesday .
These initiatives build on efforts announced in January this year by Mr Lee to make early intervention services more affordable and customised to each child's needs, MSF said. “This will also give typically developing children in more pre-schools the opportunity to gain greater understanding and appreciation of children who may be different from themselves,” a spokesperson said.Developmental needs refer to developmental conditions ranging from physical issues to sensory issues and cognitive issues to learning needs without accompanying disabilities.
Having ECDA oversee pre-school services and early intervention services is expected to improve coordination of early childhood development and support services, MSF added.
