About MINDS
Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS) was founded in May 1962 by a group of philanthropists who saw the need to provide equal opportunities for children with intellectual disabilities to receive education and later, to be integrated as contributing and responsible citizens in Singapore. MINDS is one of Singapore’s oldest and largest voluntary welfare organizations, and has 17 facilities – 4 Special Education Schools, 3 Employment Development Centres, 8 Training and Development Centres, 1 Multi-purpose Residential Services catering to the needs of persons with moderate to severe intellectual disability in Singapore, and 1 Caregivers Support Services Centre.

MINDS has recently taken over the administration of the Appropriate Adult scheme, and runs a befriender programme called Me Too! Club and the Home-Based Care Services. To know more, visit http://www.minds.org.sg/
