Support for Persons with Intellectual Disability
Persons with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers can explore access to sport and fitness activities through their respective social services organisations (such as APSN, MINDS, TOUCH Community Services), family services centre, or services providers listed on the Enabling Guide.
In addition, you may reach out to the following dedicated sport associations for persons with intellectual disabilties:
Special Olympics Singapore (intellectual disabilities)
Singapore Disability Sports Council (all disability groups)
For Adults with Disabilities and Special Needs
Enabling Services Hubs (ESHs) offer community support for persons with disabilities and their caregivers closer to their homes. The establishment of ESHs is part of efforts under the Enabling Masterplan 2030 and takes a regional approach to bring community support services closer to the homes of persons with disabilities and their caregivers.
By joining an ESH, persons with visual impairments and their caregivers will have opportunities to participate in sport and fitness activities.
Enabling Services Hubs are currently located in Jurong, Punggol and Tampines.
