Signposts now in Singapore

Signposts is now available to families in Singapore, following a partnership agreement between the Parenting Research Centre (PRC) and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore.

This exciting collaboration brings together two organisations with a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, evidence-based programs to support parents of children who have developmental delays or disabilities.

The formal partnership with KK Hospital is the first of its kind for the PRC and came about following a presentation on Signposts by PRC staff at the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disability (IASSID) 2nd Asia Pacific Conference in June 2009.

KK Hospital will be a Lead Provider for Signposts and will collaborate closely with the PRC on delivery of the program and research initiatives into the future.

PRC’s Professional Services Manager and manager of the Signposts program, Christine Cameron, recently returned to Singapore to train the first sixteen facilitators.

Selected ‘leading’ facilitators will soon be trained by the PRC to provide training and support to other facilitators in Singapore. PRC staff will continue to work with this group of leading facilitators.

It is expected that Signposts will support more than 1500 families in Singapore every year.
