                    Observation Schedule) test to confirm
                    if the child has autism.

    Screening results and parent surveys from the pilot programme will be
    reviewed to determine the most suitable community-based screening
    model for autism in Singapore. Community partners will then be trained in
    this screening framework so that they can serve children in the community.

PROGRAMME DESIGN

As preschool children with anxiety may be too young or resistant
to participate actively in therapy, this parent-based intervention
programme equips parents with skills to manage their child’s behaviour.
Over 10 intervention sessions, parents will:

                                           child in anxious situations

frequency of accommodating or              plan they can use to help their

            KKH will evaluate the feasibility of this pilot programme for
            implementation in clinical and community-based settings.

The programme will bring in 10 e-trishaws
custom-built with the following features:

Safety
The trishaw is equipped with seat belts
and can travel at a maximum speed of
25km/h. However, pilots are trained to cycle
at a pace of 10km/h along Park Connector
Network routes to enable conversations
and leisurely rides.
The pilot is positioned behind the passenger
so he can see the way ahead while
conversing with the senior.

               BACKGROUND

               A patient who has had a major stroke goes through a long journey of rehabilitation and
               recovery. Many patients find the process daunting, especially the elderly.
               Only 1 in 5 patients continue with rehabilitation after they are discharged. Among them,
               only 5% remain in the programme after one year.* Without rehabilitation, patients’
               physical abilities deteriorate and they may become more frail.

                       Lack of opportunities                       Lack of access to

                               These sports were chosen
                               based on their popularity in
                               the community as well as their
                               adaptability for people with
                               different degrees of disabilities.

                               The sports programmes will run
                               on an 8 to 12 week-long cycle
                               to allow participants to take
                               part in sports regularly
                               and build relationships with

                     Being a Good Sport

                     16-year-old Ethan has moderate
                     autism and usually has difficulty
                     understanding instructions when
                     playing sports. The lack of sports
                     programmes for children with
                     special needs in Singapore
                     also meant that Ethan had little
                     access to physical activities.
                     But ever since Ethan joined
                     Play-Ability’s basketball
                     programme, even his mother
                     Susan was surprised by what
                     he could do in sports. After
                     just three sessions, he could
                     differentiate between a chest
                     pass and a bounce pass!

                                   “Sports has improved
                                   Ethan’s quality of life.
                                   The basketball sessions
                                   were also good bonding
                                   time spent for us.”

                                   is a participant in Play-Ability’s

              BACKGROUND

              The National Guidelines for Palliative Care recommend
              that “family members affected by a death be offered
              timely bereavement support appropriate to their needs
              and preferences”.

              To provide such bereavement support, there is a need to:

     Enabling elderly wheelchair users             25 months
     who live in homes with multi-step
     entrances to move in and out of
     their flats with ease

               BACKGROUND

               Some older residences, such as
               HDB flats built in the 1970s and
               1980s, have multi-step entrances
               that are not wheelchair-friendly.

               As a result, elderly wheelchair
               users may find it challenging to
               move in and out of their homes,
               affecting their ability to age
               actively in the community.
