Centres often depend on donations from the public to keep such vital services alive. Some centres have received assistance from the Perkeso Wage Subsidy Assistance but this is inadequate to tide them over long term. Attempts have been made by the National Early Childhood Intervention Council , in partnership with Unicef, to provide early intervention services online. While useful, there are many challenges for the provider and end-user of such services. It cannot, in the short term, replace face-to-face services that are required to engage children with disabilities.
Covid-19 has made this struggle even harder. Our fear is not merely a disruption of early intervention services for children, but a loss of existing services. The government must recognise that some EIP centres will close down, unless they receive financial support. It is vital that we restart and re-establish these services as soon as possible. However, many parents may not be able to bring their children, as they may no longer be able to afford the services due to loss of their jobs or concerns for the economic future in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
