Early Intervention helps children with special needs and their families realize better outcomes in the long-term.

Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC) 

• From Oct 2014, the base subsidy for EIPIC has increased from $300 to $500 a month for Singapore Citizen children.
• Since Oct 2014, the means-tested subsidy for EIPIC has been extended to include more households up to the 80th income percentile, for both Citizen and PR children.(Families with income per person of up to $3000 a month can benefit, up from $1500 before Oct 2014.)

Development Support Programme (DSP)

• DSP provides learning support & therapy for children with mild developmental needs, so they can make a smoother transition to primary school.
• More than 1,300 children in over 300 preschools have benefitted from the DSP in 2015.

• Healthy Start For Your Baby and Healthy Start For Your Growing Kid, with tips for parents on raising healthy children (0-6 years), key growth milestones, ‘red flags’ for development delays, and how to seek help.
• A more detailed Care & Development kit for parents of children with developmental needs, with resources for further help.
