WeCAN Early Intervention Programme (EIP)

The mission of WeCAN EIP is to provide quality early intervention for young children under seven years, on the autism spectrum, and equip their caregivers with the skills that will help them reach their full potential.

ARC firmly believes that early intervention and caregiver involvement makes a huge difference in improving the long-term outcomes of children during their later years. The programme considers each young learner’s needs and engages both the children and their families on a journey of learning for long-term independence

Individualised early intervention plans are professionally formulated in consultation with parents. Transition planning to cope with the demands and challenges of the various stages of a person’s life is an important and continuing conversation with families.

WeCAN EIP provides a Development Support Plus programme that includes a centre-based programme and a pre-school support programme.
