Independent Living Studio

Building Skills for Independent Living

The Independent Living Studio (ILS) is jointly managed by SG Enable and TOUCH Community Services. It is a simulated home-living training space designed to support persons with disabilities in building essential skills for independent living.

What to Expect

Through modular, competency-based training, persons with disabilities can:

• Gain practical experience in managing daily tasks; 
• Learn how to make informed decisions on home safety and routines; 
• Use assistive technology; 
• Develop social skills in a safe and realistic setting, and; 
• Attend interest-based workshops that encourage exploration and participation in meaningful activities. 

ILS also supports caregivers through programmes focused on guidance, support, and future planning, empowering them to better care for and journey alongside their care recipient.

Together, these efforts help PwDs build confidence, strengthen independence, and prepare for active participation in the community. 

How to Apply

Upon indicating interest on the form here, our staff will get in touch to arrange for an assessment to help us understand your training needs based on the Enabling Skills and Competencies Framework (ECSF), so we can recommend suitable training modules for you.
