NEW DEVELOPMENTS
DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT PROGRAMME (DSP) PILOTED AT JURONG WEST
The DSP is an early intervention programme funded by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF)
and the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) to support preschool children who may have mild
developmental needs in learning. It provides targeted short-term support through a group of trained Learning
Support Educators (LSEds), clinical professionals and therapists in the preschools. PCS was selected to pilot
the programme at our Jurong West Childcare centre in Oct 2016. We hope to roll out this programme in all our
centres eventually.
Feedback from staff and client:
“The DSP has helped Desmond (not his real name) in a
number of ways, specifically dealing with his peers and
relating with teachers. He has shown improvement in
accepting defeat during a game and facing
unfavourable situations. Desmond has learned to voice
out what he does not like in certain situations. He has
learned to negotiate with his peers with an adult’s help.
Desmond has shown improvement in completing a
difficult task by asking an adult’s help instead of just
sulking or refusing to do the activity at all.” “We believe that DSP has helped to boost Desmond’s
confidence and believes that he is able to perform just
like his peers. Teacher Susi has been an
encouragement to him. Teacher Susi’s words of
affirmation made Desmond look forward to work with
her.”

启发补助计划
启发补助计划的作用在于为有轻微发展障碍的学龄前儿童提供提早介入计划，包括安排学习辅导师、临床专家和
治疗师到学前教育中心，为他们提供短期的辅导和矫正训练。这个计划是采用以社区和家庭为本的模式，为有轻
微发展障碍的幼儿提供援助。我们去年在裕廊西中心推出了这项计划，受到家长的好评。希望接下来能逐渐在其
它中心也推出这项计划。
