Here is an example of a set of milestones for a 2-year old toddler:  \nEarly Intervention & EIPIC  \nEarly Intervention  \n􀁸 Early Intervention (EI) refers to services and therapy provided to infants and young children with developmental delays or disabilities.  \n􀁸 It seeks to maximise the development of the child through various intervention approaches, targeting the child’s developmental areas such as motor skills, cognitive skills, psychosocial skills, speech and language, and activities of daily living.  \n􀁸 Early Intervention can come in various forms. It may be facilitated by a team of professionals or an individual professional, held at an intervention centre or in the child's natural environment (e.g. home, preschool), and conducted in a group or 1-to-1 basis.  \nEarly Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC)  \n􀁸 EIPIC is a specialised, subsidised programme customised to meet children’s individual learning and developmental needs through equipping them with adaptive and functional skills.  \n􀁸 It is not a replacement for preschool and kindergarten education.  \nEIPIC is for:  \n􀁸 Children aged 6 and below  \n􀁸 Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents  \n􀁸 Children diagnosed with or suspected to have developmental, intellectual, sensory, or physical disabilities, or a combination of needs and disabilities  \n􀁸 Children recommended by a doctor  \nHow do I enrol my child in EIPIC?  \n􀁸 Enrolment in EIPIC is by referral. A referral can be triggered by the doctor or paediatrician who is seeing your child.  \n􀁸 With your consent and the doctor’s recommendation, a referral will be raised to SG Enable (SGE), the national coordinating body for all EIPIC referrals.  \nRefer to page 4 for “Referral Process to EIPIC”.  \nReferral Process for EIPIC  \n\n| | KKH Department of Child Development NUH Child Development Unit or Private Paediatric Clinics | |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | 􀁸 Doctor at Touchpoint reco","cbCaigt8ExajK8ya","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigt8ExajK8ya","pdf",1600414,24,"English","# Introduction to Early Intervention\n## A Child’s Development\n## Early Intervention\n## Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children (EIPIC)\n## EIPIC Application\n## Selection of EIPIC Centre\n# What can I do as a parent?\n## Tools of Engagement\n## Managing Meltdowns\n# What awaits my child after EIPIC?\n# Useful community resources\n## Informational websites\n## Mobile apps\n## Sources of support within the community\n# Self-care for parents and caregivers\n# Future Planning\n# Annex A: Enabling Guide – Links to relevant resources for new caregivers","[{\"question\":\"What is Early Intervention, and what development areas does it target?\",\"answer\":\"Early Intervention provides services and therapy for infants and young children with developmental delays or disabilities.
