Building Capability FY 2010-2011 Temasek Cares – Involving and Motivating Parents & Caregivers Through Training (IMPACTT)Helping parents and caregivers to build better behaviour in their children with developmental needs Partner: KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital
The programme caters to parents of children who are receiving intervention at EIPIC (Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children) centres. Parents and Caregivers undergo 6 sessions of training in Signposts, a programme designed by the Parenting Research Centre of Australia. Signposts helps the parents to work out the reasons for, and develop ways to manage their children's challenging behaviour. This enables the parent to structure the child's environment to bring out the best in him or her. The IMPACTT programme complements other initiatives by Temasek Cares to support children with special needs including the Temasek Cares - Therapy Outreach Programme for Pre-schoolers (TOPPS) and the Temasek Cares – Special Needs Building Capability Project.
