TLC‘s Early Intervention Programme (EIP) provides therapy and educational support services for infants and children with special needs. It is the only EIP in Singapore with special focus on Speech, Language and Feeding Therapy. There is a strong body of research pointing to the importance of early, intensive language and literacy instruction in a language-rich environment that spans developmental domains and focuses on both expressive and receptive vocabulary, literacy and numeracy. TLC’s EIP works to enhance your child’s development of cognitive, behavioral, social, and self-regulatory capacities. This develops their potential, thereby overcoming developmental delays as far as possible.
At TLC, our EIP is helmed by qualified and Hanen-trained Early Intervention Teachers. The programme is designed to improve outcomes and ensure your child receives a holistic and integrated early childhood therapy and curriculum. The high quality and focus on didactic learning activities, such as teaching children letters and numbers, encourage play-oriented and discovery-learning activities in a language-rich and emotionally-supportive environment.
