Pediatric Therapy in Singapore
When your child is having difficulty with speech, movement, everyday routines, behavior or social interaction, it is not always easy to know what kind of support they need. Early intervention can be valuable when developmental concerns appear, helping children build skills while they are still in an important period of learning and development.
At The Growing Academy, children can access ABA therapy, early intervention, school shadow support and therapy-integrated learning programs. The team includes ABA therapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists, allowing different areas of development to be supported within the same setting.
What Is Pediatric Therapy?
Pediatric therapy is a broad term for therapies and developmental support designed around the needs of infants, children and young people. Depending on the child, support may focus on communication, movement, behavior, social interaction, sensory needs or everyday skills such as dressing, eating and participating in routines. Early intervention programs can also bring several areas of support together instead of treating each developmental need separately.
At The Growing Academy, support includes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), early intervention, speech and communication support, occupational therapy input and motor development activities. Its early intervention classes are supported by a multidisciplinary team, while its Playgroup program also includes input from an in-house Senior Physiotherapist for children working on motor development.
The type of support a child receives depends on what they are finding difficult, their developmental stage and the goals identified through assessment.

Our Pediatric Therapy Services
The Growing Academy offers several forms of therapy and developmental support. The right program will depend on your child's age, needs and current learning environment.
Our Approach to Pediatric Therapy
Children do not all learn in the same way, so support needs to be specific to the child. At The Growing Academy, several principles guide its therapy and early intervention programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a pediatric therapist do?
A pediatric therapist works with children to build communication, behavioral, social, and daily living skills through structured, child-centered activities, adjusting their approach as the child grows and progresses.
What is the difference between pediatric therapy and early intervention?
Pediatric therapy is a broad term covering various forms of child-focused therapy, including ABA and speech and communication support. Early intervention refers specifically to structured, timely support delivered during a child's early developmental years, often combining several pediatric therapies into one program.
At what age should a child start pediatric therapy?
Earlier is generally better, since young children's brains are especially responsive to learning during their first few years. The Growing Academy works with children from 12 months old, though the right starting point depends on your child's individual needs.
How much does pediatric therapy cost in Singapore?
Costs vary depending on the type of therapy, session frequency, and format (home-based, individual, or center-based). Since every child's plan is different, we recommend contacting us directly for accurate pricing.
Are pediatric therapy services covered by subsidies or Baby Bonus in Singapore?
The Growing Academy accepts payments via the Baby Bonus Scheme, but standard EIPIC subsidies do not apply to our program fees.
Can pediatric therapy help my child transition to mainstream school?
Yes. Programs like our School Shadow Services and Mainstream Readiness Preparatory Class are built specifically to help children build the academic, social, and self-help skills needed for a smoother move into mainstream schooling.
