Overview:
SPD is a local charity set up to help people with disabilities, or who may develop disabling conditions, of all ages to maximize their potential and integrate them into mainstream society.
Through over 20 programs that encompass early intervention, therapy, vocational training, assistive technology, and daycare, as well as educational, employment, and social service support, we serve people with physical, sensory, and learning needs.
Founded in 1964 by a group of Rotarians, we were known as the Society for Aid to the Paralysed (SAP). In the earlier years, SAP provided employment opportunities at its sheltered workshop to people with disabilities who had difficulties seeking open employment. We were renamed Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) in May 1998 and subsequently to just SPD in July 2014 to better reflect the work that we do – serving people beyond physical disabilities.
