Support. Empower. Grow.
The Differently Abled People Association Inc. (DAPA) helps individuals with disabilities, including autism, develop their abilities and achieve independence in life skills, leisure, and education.
Our positive approach focuses on talents, aiding individuals in making valuable community contributions and supporting others with similar challenges.
Services
Our participants are at the heart of everything we do.
Our Services supports the rights and choices of people with disabilities, helping them live independently through employment, recreational activities, and life skills training. Participants engage in arts, music, games, sports, and dance to keep their minds and bodies active. Our living skill training builds confidence for socializing within an inclusive community, with daily programs tailored to individual needs.
Job & IT Training
At DAPA, we train participants in essential workplace skills like data entry, site research, and WHS compliance. Participants also gain valuable IT industry skills by working on mobile app projects like the MMLink app each morning. They are compensated based on productivity through the Supported Wage System.
Communication Development
DAPA offers programs to help individuals with disabilities improve communication, social skills, confidence, and social networks. Each Tuesday, participants report on their data entry progress for MMLink and are encouraged to share opinions and suggestions.
Life Skills
We provide support and training to enable people with disability to develop skills required to assist in living as independently as possible, such as cooking, cleaning, self management
Art Training
At DAPA, we aim to excel in the arts by teaching drawing and painting to people with disabilities. This program helps them develop their talent and showcase their artwork. It’s never too late to learn—drawing and painting are major activities for our participants, soothing minds and aiding time management.
Community Participation
DAPA engages in community activities, showcasing the talents of young people with disabilities. Mr. Vincent Yu highlights their achievements at conferences and introduces Many Minds Link.
