Overview
Summary
- There is also few concerted initiatives that focus on community inclusion of PWDs and their caregivers in their own neighbourhoods and residential communities.
Actionable Opportunity Areas
- See concept paper on creating Inclusive Neighbourhoods (possible collaboration by SG Enable, AWWA and IPS). The objective is to help community members, partners and local institutions integrate PWDs and their caregivers into the communal life of the residential neighbourhood, where PWDs are supported by the whole community but can also contribute back to it. This will be achieved through an strengths-based community development approach that maps and mobilises the assets of the community.

Key Statistics & Figures
- According to a Lien Foundation survey in 2016, of the 835 parents of special needs children who were surveyed, four in 10 think their children spend too little time in the community outside of school. Nearly half of those surveyed said their children do not have friends without disabilities (ST 2 Oct 2017)
- A third of Singaporeans do not have a disabled person in their social circles [1]
