About Campaign
ends 11 Mar 2022, 11:59 PMHelp us to raise the much-needed funds so that we can continue to support children with special needs like Syaza, to learn, live and play like their peers, and give them an early start for a brighter tomorrow.
Syaza is six but she cannot do many things other children her age do. She has global developmental delay with movement disorder, and hearing and visual impairments. She requires assistance in daily living activities such as toileting, bathing and feeding, as well as movement and mobility.
At [email protected], our physiotherapist works with her to improve her neck control while in supported sitting positions, and recommended devices suitable for her ankle deformity and hip alignment.
Regular training was conducted for Syaza's mother to teach her how she can help to position Syaza, facilitate her movements, improve her neck control and perform stretching exercises with her. With better neck control, Syaza is now able to participate in activities by lifting her head to look at or listen to stimulus like toys and songs.
This Chinese New Year, we appeal to you to make a donation to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities & their caregivers. Wishing you and your family, good health, much joy and every success in the new year.
About the Charity
SPD is a local charity set up in 1964 to help people with disabilities maximise their potential and be a part of mainstream society.
We are here to help children and youths with special needs reach for the stars and be the best that they can be through early intervention and educational support.
We strive to boost the self-reliance and mobility of persons with disabilities within the community, and we do so through therapy services, assistive technology and the support and encouragement of our care team.
Our day care programmes provide respite to families, making it possible for persons with disabilities to stay with their loved ones at home for as long as possible without having to resort to institutional care.
A strong advocate for inclusive employment, we train people with disabilities and work with them to seek suitable employment opportunities so that they can be financially independent and lead a full and engaged life.
After more than 50 years, we remain focused and committed to enabling people with disabilities.
