We understand, often, it takes a few different villages to raise a special child.
At A Special Door, we believe in the potential of every child, with or without special needs. We know, and treat, a child as a child first, before addressing the areas of special needs. A child with special needs is often like a door, which can be opened, to a new world of diversities and possibilities.
While it takes a village to raise a child, we understand, often, it takes a few different villages to raise a special child. Different knocks are required before the special door opens, and we do not profess to have all the expertise. Instead, we actively seek out other specialists and professionals to collaborate with, in ensuring better understanding and a holistic approach to help your child.

S.E.E.K Early Intervention
S.E.E.K Learning Support
Professional Development Workshops
1. S.E.E.K Early Intervention
We conduct home-based early intervention based on ‘Strengths-Empathy-Engagement-Knowledge’.
It is an in-house approach that builds on our years of experience in working with children with special needs. Under the S.E.E.K approach, elements and best practices of various conventional approaches are well assimilated into the early intervention cycle designed for your child. This ensures our work is learner-centric and structured for proactive involvement by caregivers.
2. S.E.E.K Learning Support
We provide individual and group learning support programmes based on ‘Strengths-Empathy-Engagement-Knowledge’.
It is an in-house approach that builds on our years of experience in working with learners aged 5 - 9. Under the S.E.E.K approach, learning challenges are addressed through carefully scaffolded lessons that bridge skill-gaps, as well as highlighting specific strategies to help the learner retain and apply his/her learning.
The key feature of our Educational Therapy/Learning Support is an emphasis on caregiver involvement and empowerment.
3. Professional Development Workshops
Targeted at in-service early childhood educators, our Professional Development Workshops place emphasis on answering the burning questions teachers may have in working with learners with special needs and focus on equipping participants with their own toolkit through hands-on experiences and activities.
Content is customizable to the learning needs of the participants and delivered bite-size, with lots of practical sharing.
