At MINDS, we aim to provide a comprehensive range of services that best cater to the educational, social, vocational and psychological needs for both the children and the adults with intellectual disability.
MINDS sets up four Special Education Schools (SPED schools) in different parts of Singapore to cater to the special educational needs of our children. MINDS firmly believes that children with intellectual disability possess the capacity to learn and to develop their potential to become contributing members of society.
The SPEDs offer three programmes – Junior, Senior and Special Programmes. The Special Programme is developed for pupils who have challenging behaviours or additional concerns that may impact their learning ability.
MINDSville@Napiri provides specialised residential care and service for intellectually disabled persons 6 years and above. Respite care, short-term or long-term care are provided. Besides a daily routine which aims at improving the basic living skills of the residents, various programs and therapy are also run to enhance the residents' mental and physical well-being. It is also the first of its kind in Singapore to house children in the Children’s Wing.
These include Social Work Services, Psychological Services, Occupation Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech & Therapy Services.
Me Too! Club is a programme to enhance the social integration of people with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs) through leisure and befriending activities. It is best suited for PWIDs who cannot participate in community-based services due to health reasons and/or other reasons or would prefer a less intensive programme. Me Too! Club offers age-appropriate activities that cater to the interests of persons with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities
