TOUCH Centre for Independent Living

Print
  • Equipping persons with intellectual disabilities with skills for independent living
  • Promote independence and integration to society


TOUCH Centre for Independent Living is a day activity centre that seeks to provide a competency-based training programme suitable for adults with mild intellectual disabilities.

Our aim is to empower them with functional knowledge and skills so that they can live independently in the community. The client-focused training programmes teach daily living, personal and social and pre-employment skills to the trainees using a Mediated Learning Experience approach. For clients who are suitable for open or supported employment, we also train and help them with job placement.

For character development, the trainees are actively involved in the Community Involvement Programme that provides them with opportunities to interact with schools, corporations and the community.

To improve their quality of life, we conduct enrichment programmes such as visual arts, sports and recreational activities. Many of the clients have won awards/prizes at art, athletics and sports competitions.

We help trainees with exceptional talents to hone their artistic skills. At TOUCH SpecialCrafts, we showcase their works through direct sales, auctions and charity fairs, and provide employment for those who are artistically inclined.

"We are extremely delighted and thankful that she has made tremendous progress is most aspects of her daily life skills since she joined the Centre. In less than a year, she is able to make her way around on her own independently and confidently, communicate clearly, and interact with her friends. We also see that she can now manage some basic domestic chores without any assistance..."
- Mr Benny Quek, father of trainee, Joycelyn
