Eulisia Er

Profile

Eulisia works with individuals with special needs from 18 months to 65 years of age and across a spectrum of presentations. She has extensive experience in conducting assessments, behaviour management support and psychological interventions to individuals with special educational and developmental needs. She also has a keen interest in early intervention, home-school partnership and parenting.

​

Eulisia has previously worked at Early Intervention Programmes for Infants and Children (EIPIC) Centres, Special Schools and numerous private clinics. She believes that early intervention is the key to helping children develop and adapt to the society as best as they can. It gives her great satisfaction to know that she has played a role in helping the children progress in their lives. In 2012, Eulisia was also one of the first psychologists to be involved in the implementation of a transdisciplinary framework at a government-funded EIPIC Centre. The transdisciplinary framework is recognized as a best practice for early intervention. It adopts a family-centred systematic approach to early intervention that integrates the assessment, goal development, intervention and evaluation processes, to meet the complex needs of children with disabilities and their families. 

​

Apart from individual sessions with children, Eulisia believes that parenting and a strong partnership between teachers, parents and their psychologists is critical to the optimal development of children. In the past decade, Eulisia has equipped parents, caregivers and teachers with knowledge and strategies to better understand and manage their children’s developmental needs. She has helped numerous parents and teachers understand the significance of building healthy relationships with their children as a basis for positive behavioural changes and skills acquisition.

​

Beyond her current job scope, Eulisia holds various pro-bono appointments in the public sector. She volunteers as the Deputy Chair in the Singapore Psychological Society’s Research Committee. In addition, she helps out as a Victim Care Officer with the Singapore Police Force to provide care services to victims of serious sexual crimes. Eulisia also volunteers as an Appropriate Adult, under the Appropriate Adult Scheme, to provide assistance to persons with intellectual or mental disability (PWIDs) who are required to give a statement to the Police during investigations. Eulisia was also involved in the Hayes Ability Screening Index (HASI) test study, which was a pilot-study on accused persons with intellectual disabilities, jointly conducted by the Law Society of Singapore, the Singapore Psychological Society and the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF). Eulisia was actively involved in the pilot project whereby HASI was used to identify potential persons with intellectual disabilities at the point of arrest when an offence was committed.
