In 1990, SUN-DAC Chai Chee was the first Day Activity Centre for intellectually disabled

  adults to be set up at the HDB (Housing & Development Board) void deck. In 1999,

  our second Day Activity Centre for intellectually disabled adults, SUN-DAC Choa Chu

  Kang, was also set up at an HDB void deck, and which became our headquarters.

  SUN-DAC Chai Chee provides services to residents living in the East of Singapore,

  while SUN-DAC Choa Chu Kang serves residents living in the West of Singapore.

  Together, the centres are able to accommodate a total of 85 students

"Don't let the SUN go down on us..."

Our Services

  SUN-DAC offers day programmes to intellectually disabled persons aged from

  16 up to 60 years, providing them with independent living skills training in

  social skills, personal grooming, hygiene, domestic skills and functional mobility.

  This relieves family members from the burden of caring for their disabled

  child / ward during the day, allowing family members to work or pursue their interests.

  Our programmes include art & craft making, simple kitchen duties, traveling,

  swimming, occupational therapy, excursions, gardening, participating in

  telematches, etc. Transportation to and from the centre is provided in mini-buses

  or vans. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon teabreak are also included.

  SUN-DAC is able to provide financial aid and counseling services when

  required to family members of our intellectually disabled students.

  SUN-DAC's Day Activity Centres operate from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.

  To qualify for admission to SUN-DAC, the disabled person must:
