Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What are some examples of developmental delays?

Answer: Delayed onset of speech and communication, lack of social awareness (eg lack of eye contact and lack of responding to one's own name) and even delay in gross or fine motor skills (e.g pencil grip) are just some indicators of developmental delays. Please feel free to contact us about any specific details unique to your child.

Question: Does my child have to be diagnosed to start on any of your programmes?

Answer: Your child does not need to be medically diagnosed to start on our programmes as we will do an assessment for your child to assess their current level of learning and functioning. Parents who have observed and experienced any cognitive or developmental challenges in their child can seek our help too.

Question: What is Early Intervention and how does it benefit my kid?

Answer: Early Intervention helps children improve their abilities, bridge any developmental gaps and learn new skills! It’s important to act early because the connections in a baby’s brain are most adaptable in the first three years of life. These connections, also called neural circuits, are the foundation for learning, behaviour and health. Overtime, these connections become harder to change. The earlier developmental delays are detected and intervention begins, the greater the chance a young child has of achieving his or her best potential. Early Intervention services can change a child’s developmental path and improve outcomes for children, families and communities. Family also benefit from early intervention by being able to better meet their child’s needs from an early age and throughout their lives.

Question: How long does it take to see results?

Answer: As each child is unique, their responses to our programmes will also vary at different pace. However, consistency in early intervention has been shown to achieve the most success.
