About <strong>MINDS</strong><br />

<strong>MINDS</strong> stands for Movement for the<br />

Intellectually Disabled of Singapore.<br />

<strong>MINDS</strong> started with a single classroom<br />

of 26 children back in 1962. 47 years<br />

later, <strong>MINDS</strong> has grown to be one of the<br />

oldest and biggest VWOs in Singapore.<br />

<strong>MINDS</strong>’ services include four special<br />

education schools, three sheltered<br />

workshops, three day activity centres<br />

and a multi-service residential facility<br />

catering to a broad spectrum of ages<br />

and needs of persons with intellectual<br />

disability. <strong>MINDS</strong> serves about 2,400<br />

clients in the 11 facilities located<br />

island-wide. <strong>MINDS</strong> had received<br />

strong support from various funding<br />

bodies, the community, corporations<br />

and individuals. It is our vision to<br />

grow and become a world-class VWO<br />

that advances the development, wellbeing<br />

and aspirations of persons<br />

with intellectual disability and their<br />

integration back into society.
