Singapore - Special needs children
If your child has special needs, a pediatrician should be able to give you information on the best schools and programs available to your child.
Adjusting to life in a new country may put individuals and families under stress. One of the best places to look for help if you or your children need assistance in coping with the new environment and culture is SACAC Counseling and Community Programs. SACAC stands for Singapore American Community Action Council but all nationalities are welcome to join their activities. SACAC has a team of experienced, professional counselors and also offers workshops in a variety of topics including ‘Settling in Singapore’ and ‘Stress Management’.
