Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children

Children > Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children

Fei Yue Community Services had been appointed by The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) to run the Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC). Our EIPIC programme is specially designed to serve children from birth to 6 years old who are assessed to be at risk of developmental, intellectual, sensory or physical learning needs. 

Our Services

Initial Screening

Screening is conducted within an hour by a team of professionals, including a Social Worker, Teacher(s) and/or a Therapist. The assessment will focus on the child’s self-help skills, cognitive skills, communication skills, social skills, and fine and gross motor skills, to determine the most suitable placement for the child in the centre.

EIPIC Programme

The intervention approach at Fei Yue EIPIC is a combined use of principles from Activity-Based Intervention (ABI), Structured Teaching (TEACCH) and Routine Based Intervention (RBI). We also practice Family-Centred and Transdiciplinary approaches to engage, educate, and collaborate with the families of our children.

Each child will receive an Integrated Therapy and Education Plan (ITEP) that contains the assessment notes and intervention goals for the child. Planned interventions are done to increase the child’s emerging skills, and at the end of the ITEP period, each child will also receive an Integrated Therapy and Education Report (ITER) that contains the evaluated intervention outcomes and progress of the child.

To meet the needs of our children and families, our team consisting of Early Intervention Teachers, Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, and Social Workers aim to provide family-centred, coordinated and integrated services. We do so by engaging in frequent discussions and communication amongst team members to facilitate deeper understanding of the child and the family. 

We believe:

  • Every child is unique and has the potential to learn
  • In the holistic development of the child
  • In creating a nurturing and safe environment for the child to develop, learn and play
  • That each family is crucial to the child’s development. They have strengths and resources that they can tap on, and they can grow in their resilience
  • Ultimately, we believe that the child, with support and guidance, will function and contribute to society in their own way
