Scopes of Service
-
Early Education and Training Centre Service: each child is assessed periodically for their development. Results of the assessment will be used to plan an individualised training programme which sets learning goals for the parent and child. Parents and children have individual or group training/treatment at least once per week followed by practice in their daily life. Toys are available for borrowing so that parents can perform training at home. Training on education activities is provided for parents to raise the acceptance of their children as well as knowledge and skills in the areas of child language and language development. An all-round development is therefore achieved. Speech Therapy, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy can be arranged on a need basis.
