Early Intervention
Early Intervention
I
t is useful for us to take
a step back and to
reflect on the journey
that we have taken to
this day. I think you will
realise that step-by-step,
Singapore is slowly, but
surely becoming a more
inclusive society for
persons with disabilities.
The direction is clear and
there is no turning back.
We will keep up
the momentum.

Minister for Social and
Family Development
