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.
