Special needs services in Singapore span MOE SPED schools (heavily subsidised for eligible children), NCSS-funded EIPIC programmes, and private therapy centres. AHPC registration for therapists (OT, speech, physio) is the regulatory floor; programme specialisation (autism-focused, ADHD, dyslexia) matters more than generic 'special needs' marketing. Assessment documentation from KK Hospital DCD or NUH CDU drives proper placement. KakiList connects you with 66 verified Special Needs School providers serving the Pasir Ris area.

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.
