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.
