OAPD renders social work and developmental services through an integrated approach. Our programmes support persons with disabilities, their families and caregivers through direct services, education, care, development, skills and community-based support.
OAPD supports three day-care programmes that provide safe, supportive environments, stimulation, development and respite support for families.

OAPD provides psychosocial support to persons with disabilities, parents and caregivers through social work services, support groups and targeted programmes. Activities may include youth support, psychosocial rehabilitation, family and relationship support, art therapy, coping skills, parent education and caregiver support groups.
Fitness and wellness programmes provide opportunities for physical activity, social interaction and connection. These activities support wellbeing while helping to address loneliness and social isolation, particularly among older participants.
OAPD supports parents and caregivers through education and training, including home-stimulation support for persons with severe to profound disabilities who cannot access day-care services.
The Early Childhood Development Home Stimulation approach equips parents and caregivers to provide stimulation and support at home, while strengthening their skills and capacity to care for children with disabilities.
OAPD’s Peer Support Programme recruits and supports peer supporters who act as a direct link and intermediary between persons with disabilities and OAPD’s social work team. Their work strengthens service delivery in different communities through home visits, individual interviews, group sessions and disability-awareness activities.
