CHILD Early Intervention Programme Centre

CHILD stands for Caring & Helping Individuals with Learning Disabilities.

The CHILD Early Intervention Programme (EIP) centre was birthed as a result of the coming together of a group of like-minded parents who saw a great need to provide practical help to an ever increasing number of children with learning disabilities and their families in and around Taiping. Hence, a committee was set up to look into ways to help this target group. The CHILD Society was registered and its first project was to start an EIP centre. The CHILD-EIP Centre came into operation in June 2010, providing a UK-based “early intervention program” (or EIP) for children aged 6 months to 6 years old. Gradually, the program will expand to cater to those above 6 years old and ‘home-based’ children who cannot attend lessons at the centre due to various circumstances.

CHILD Early Intervention Programme Centre is seeking the following types of donations:

• Sponsorship
• Cash

All services provided are offered to clients based on needs; no distinction is made based on sex, race, religion or financial background.

The core service of CHILD-EIP Centre is to provide the Early Intervention Program to children with learning disabilities, mostly with autistic or Downe –syndrome backgrounds. The EIP seeks to instill a broad range of skills over time : academic learning, self-help & living skills, behaviour modification, counselling for affected families, etc. Obviously, learning cannot be conducted in normal big classroom style but in small groups and one-on-one sessions.
