Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a system of services to help young children who have developmental delays or problems. WeShine Intervention program is an early intervention program for children with developmental delays or problems such as Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Slow Learners, Dyslexia etc developed by two certified clinical psychologists, Farah Putrinegara and Shazeema Bt Mashood Shah of WeCare Allied Health Center in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.
Farah and Shazeema have been providing services to children with developmental problems since 2010 and found that there was a lack of appropriate intervention programs to enrol children with developmental problems to help them address their unique difficulties. This inspired them to initiate their own early intervention program.
This program is unique from others in many ways. The main reason would be that, upon entering WeShine EIP, your child will undergo an assessment conducted by two experienced clinical psychologists who will give you the answers to all your questions in regards to their education and development. This assessment will identify your child’s precise developmental level as well as their strengths and weaknesses.
This information, in turn, will be used for the development of your child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP), which is unique to your child and caters to his/her abilities, culture, background, and education system.
Each EIP plan is also constructed by WeCare’s credible, multi-disciplinary team of professionals that consists of clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, special needs educators, and speech-language pathologists. Furthermore, our clinical psychologists will also be hands-on working with the team to update, revise, and review your child’s progress and fulfill your child’s needs. Therefore, your child is getting all the help that he/she needs under one roof. Overall, this EIP is constructed according to your child for your child – one child’s program is different to another.
WeShine Early Intervention Program focuses on helping eligible children learn the basic and brand-new skills that typically develop during the first few years of life, such as

- Developmental screening for each student: Upon entering WeShine IIEP, your child will undergo a developmental screening to identify your child’s precise developmental level as well as their strengths and weaknesses. The information will be used for the development of your child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP), which is unique to your child and caters to his/her abilities, culture, background and education system. You also have the choice of getting a formal (Diagnostic) assessment to know what your child’s diagnosis is, and to obtain an even more specific intervention plan for your child.
- Everyone has their own intervention plan: Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student means, each student’s concern is addressed specifically, in order to boost their developmental ability. In some Early Intervention Programs, the students in the class do not have an individual education plan and have generalized education plans set by teachers. In other words, they need to follow the general learning plan, instead of the plan following each child’s specific needs.
