The Disability Portal, launched in July 2004, is a convenient one-stop website providing disability information and resources.

The information is organised according to the different disability types and main categories such as education, employment and financial schemes.

The Portal adopts a 'Life Cycle' approach, enabling users to identify with a specific disability at a certain age group and tap into the available resources such as diagnostic centres, employment agencies or educational institutions.
