Early Intervention Programme for Infants & Children (EIPIC)

From 1 July 2019, the Ministry of Social and Family Development will be progressively rolling out more customised Early Intervention (EI) services. Services will also be made more affordable. Fee changes to the Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC), Development Support (DS) and Learning Support (LS) programmes will take effect from 1 April 2019. For more information, visit MSF’s website here​.

EIPIC provides therapy and educational support services for infants and young children with special needs. It equips them with necessary skills and helps develop their potential, thereby overcoming developmental delays as far as possible.

Overview of Programme
