Day Activity Centres

Day Activity Centres provide activities and services to train people with disabilities to be independent to the best of their abilities. These centres prepare clients with disability for the transition to workshop employment when appropriate. They cater to persons aged 16 and above who are not able to take up open employment or attend sheltered workshops. They also provide a form of respite for caregivers during working hours.

Programmes involve activities to promote the development of cognitive, social, communication, language and motor skills. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy services are also provided.

The following are the centres for persons with Intellectual Disability:
