Multiple Disabilities

Rehabilitation & Therapy

Rehabilitation and Therapy programmes assist a person diagnosed with multiple disabilities, either congenital or acquired, in adapting both emotionally and physically to the environment. Very often, individuals who have not received early intervention and prevention programmes are advised to seek such programmes to help them overcome their impairment. The services offered include Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Physiotherapy. Therapy assists people with disabilities in areas of development and self-help skills including mobility (gross and fine motor skills) as well as play and social skills. Therapists also give advice on assistive devices and equipment to assist in maximising independence.

The above is just an overview. For more information, please refer to the respective Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs) who would be able to assist you.
