EUGENIA TAN

Eugenia  believes that the goal of intervention is to support children in becoming well-integrated individuals in their communities - at home, at school and at play. As a mother of two, she believes in the importance of feeling empowered as a parent and caregiver. As such, she closely partners parents and caregivers, and works to foster confidence in their ability to support their children's development. 

 

Eugenia was awarded a scholarship from the National Council of Social Service in 2004. She did her training at La Trobe University (Australia), where she graduated with a Bachelor of Speech Pathology with Honours. Eugenia also holds a Master in Music Therapy from the University of Queensland (Australia). She has worked in a variety of contexts including early intervention centres, clinics, and schools (special and mainstream) both locally and in Australia. She is a full member of the professional association (Speech and Language Therapy Singapore) and is registered with the Allied Health Professionals Council.
