The Disabled People’s Association (DPA) is a non-profit, cross-disability organisation, officially registered in Singapore on 28th April 1986. We are an associate member of the National Council of Social Service and also are registered as an Institution of Public Character with approval to issue tax-exemption receipts to our donors.
What We Do
The DPA advocates on behalf of and with persons with disabilities (PWD) to engage with stakeholders, policy makers and other interested parties and ensure PWD are involved in the consultation, implementation and evaluation of policies and programmes that affect PWD.
It is a fundamental principle of the disability movement that nothing is done for people with disabilities without consultation with them and it is for that reason that the DPA engages as many VWOs that provide services to people with disabilities as possible to ensure we are truly representative of all people with disabilities in Singapore.
DPA aims to create awareness about as well as engage people, with or without disabilities, in discussions about disability through public education, training, consultative services, research and advocacy.
