Children and Youth with special needs, and those at-risk

Your donation helps support children with special needs with:

Early intervention

  • The period of 0-6 years of age is the most critical window for a child's development
  • An early start helps them to cope with their disability and prepare them for mainstream or special education schooling

Specialised education

  • Special schools are more suitable for these children than mainstream schools
  • Some special schools offer a mainstream curriculum while others focus on pre-vocational and daily living skills
  • There are programmes available that cater to different types of disabilities

A range of solutions

  • Therapy gives children with special needs more control over their motor skills; and life skills training helps them take care of themselves
  • Their families also need counselling and support to help them cope with meeting the children's special needs

Your donation helps support youth at risk with:

Preventive and developmental programmes to:

  • create positive self-identity and confidence for them
  • improve their social competency
  • strengthen their relationship with family, peers and teachers

A wide scope of services e.g.

  • casework and counselling with their families
  • outreach to other friends to build rapport and understanding
  • support groups and workshops on issues that they face e.g. managing peer pressure, building resilience and anger management etc.
  • case conference with their school personnel to jointly ensure they are coping well
  • workshops for their parents so that they can be a source support
