For under-7s with developmental delays: EIPIC programmes (NCSS, via AWWA, SPD, Rainbow Centre) with means-tested subsidy. For ages 7+: DS-LS support within mainstream schools, or SPED schools (20 MOE-funded, for moderate-to-severe needs). Private supplementary therapy runs alongside public programmes. Proper placement requires formal assessment.
Public assessment pathways: KK Hospital Department of Child Development (DCD) or NUH Child Development Unit (CDU) — these provide diagnostic documentation, recommendations, and programme eligibility letters. Private paediatric/psychological assessment (S\$800-2,500) is faster but requires the same follow-through for programme access.
Private 1-to-1 therapy (OT, speech, physiotherapy): S\$180-350/session. Group programmes: S\$800-2,000/month. Specialised full-time schools (Dover Court, Integrated International, Genesis): S\$2,500-6,500/month. Public programmes: SPED under S\$150/month, EIPIC S\$100-400/month after means-tested subsidy.
Occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physiotherapy practitioners in Singapore must be AHPC-registered. The registration number is verifiable on AHPC's online directory. Unregistered "therapists" at private centres are practising without professional accountability — a real risk for vulnerable populations.
Evidence-based for autism: ABA (applied behaviour analysis, needs BCBA credential), speech/OT-led social communication programmes, early intensive intervention. Evidence-based for ADHD: behavioural parent training, classroom accommodation. Be sceptical of "brain training apps", heavy-metal detox, vision therapy for autism — these claim benefits without peer-reviewed support.
