Empowering Teachers. Supporting Every Child.

At The SKILT Centre, we believe inclusion is most effective when teachers feel confident, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use right away.

Our preschool talks and training sessions are designed to help educators support children with diverse developmental, learning, and behavioural needs — in ways that work for real classrooms.

​

Who We Are

Our sessions are facilitated by an experienced multi-disciplinary team, including:

• Psychologists – to explain developmental needs in context.

• Speech & Language Therapists – to introduce communication supports and strategies.

• Occupational Therapists – to address sensory needs and physical participation.

• Educational Therapists – to adapt learning activities and materials.

• Special Needs Educators – to share classroom-tested approaches.

• Dr Lian Wee Bin – our Clinical Director, who occasionally leads or joins sessions on developmental and behavioural paediatrics.

​

Common Training Topics

We tailor every session to your teachers’ needs and school’s priorities. Popular topics include:

Understanding Student Needs

• Recognising signs of developmental differences (autism, ADHD, global developmental delay, speech & language disorders).

• Understanding why a child may be non-verbal or minimally verbal.

• Spotting “invisible” needs before they escalate into bigger challenges.

Building Communication & Connection

• Using visual supports, communication boards, and alternative communication tools.

• Encouraging peer interaction and building friendships between neurodiverse and neurotypical children.

• Responsive teaching techniques for students with different communication styles.

Adapting the Classroom

• Simple changes to lesson plans, routines, and environment for better inclusion.

• Balancing individual support with whole-class needs.

• Creating sensory-friendly spaces within busy classrooms.

Managing Behaviour Positively

• Understanding the “why” behind challenging behaviours.

• De-escalation techniques for high-stress moments.

• Supporting emotional regulation and self-control in young learners.
