Disabled People’s Association (DPA) is Singapore’s only cross-disability non-profit organisation. We represent the voice of the disability community, working to build a fairer society where everyone can participate in all aspects of life from education to employment and access to social integration.
We help the disability community have a voice in society by working with decision-makers in political, commercial and educational institutions so that no decision that impacts us is made without us. We also provide training for both people with disabilities and the public, so we can work together to create an inclusive, accessible society we are all proud of.
Our Aims:
Raising awareness of the needs of people with disabilities to empower people to live independent lives via access to education, transport, paid employment and community activities.
Building public awareness of all types of disabilities, both visible and invisible. DPA has worked on various dynamic campaigns such as the nationwide See The True Me campaign in collaboration with the National Council of Social Services (NCSS). Our Inclusion Ambassadors, DPA members with disabilities run disability awareness workshops.
Initiating a constructive dialogue about disability so businesses and the public are conscious of the barriers that prevent people with disabilities being full and productive members of society and work with us to overcome them
Sharing research and best practice examples that promotes understanding and potential solutions to key issues
