Study on Extending Development and Learning Support Programme to Differently-abled Children at Nursery Levels

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Social and Family Development for an update on the ECDA's study about extending the Development Support and Learning Support Programme to differently abled children at nursery levels.
The Development Support-Learning Support (DS-LS) Programme currently supports preschool children aged five and six with mild developmental delays or learning needs.
In 2021, the Early Childhood Development Agency piloted extending the DS-LS programme to children aged three and four in 20 preschool centres.
The pilot extension to younger children is still in progress.
The debate focused on whether the programme can be further extended to include differently abled children at the nursery level.
