History
[edit]In 2005, the Society was selected by Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) to manage a new early-help centre for autistic children.[3] Tapping on trained teachers and therapists from the Moral Therapy Hub and other resources, the organisation provides rehabilitation therapy services. The programme is to help children who have any development disorder. Training and counselling will also be provided for parents and caregiver.
When the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) lost its funding from National Council of Social Service in 2005 and unable to help their clients, the society helped SAVH's existing clients as SAVH is unable to help them.[2] It also worked with the Singapore National Eye Centre to help these clients.[2]
