MINDS

This service activity is entirely student driven and led. Students need to be open-minded towards differences, creative and patient.The team works with clients at MINDS (Movement for the Intellectually Disabled in Singapore), planning class games/activities in the form of an activity book that will help to train some of their social and cognitive skills in an interactive way. Some interested students can also help to make interactive dance videos to help the clients be more active! You will have the opportunity to make some of the clients' daily learning programs and be a great help to the staff, whilst developing your collaboration skills in the process.

Lasallian Principles: Inclusive Community, Quality Education and Respect for All Persons 

Working with people with intellectual disabilities requires respect for their learning differences, their strengths and their needs. This service aims to create an inclusive community through the activities that our students and the clients at MINDS undertake together. The activities are curated to allow for interaction and inclusion of all needs. This allows our students to use their creativity and to develop activities and allows the clients to participate in activities differentiated by strengths.
