STEP - Structured Teaching For Exceptional Pupils

Introduced in February 1989 as the first structured programme for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Singapore, STEP serves these children from low, moderate to high functioning aged 5 years to 12 years. STEP's core value is to understand and appreciate the culture of children with autism. It aims to provide a positive learning environment and a differentiated curriculum to equip each child with the necessary functional and academic skills to his fullest potential so that he can lead an independent and productive life integrated into his family and the community.

Children are grouped according to their individual skills, strengths and interest level. The structured teaching focuses on the functional skills and building skills in the following domains:

• Language & Communication Skills
• Cognitive Skills
• Social & Emotional Skills
• Fine motor Skills
• Cross Motor Skills
• Adaptive Daily Lilving Skills

Although autism is a lifelong disability, early intervention and consistent teaching and support help children to manage the demands of their daily living.

Sessions of 2 hours or 4 hours are run daily.
