SPD is a charity in Singapore dedicated to helping people with disabilities or those who may develop disabling conditions to maximise their potential and integrate them into mainstream society. Today, SPD delivers over 20 programmes and services spanning early intervention, day care, senior care, day rehabilitation, employment and educational support, assistive technology, community activities and lifelong learning, as well as case management. Through these services, we serve individuals with physical, sensory and developmental needs, as well as autism, across different life stages. Founded in 1964 by a group of Rotarians, we were known as Society for Aid to the Paralysed (SAP). In its early years, SAP operated a sheltered workshop that provided meaningful employment to persons with disabilities who faced difficulties seeking open employment. We were renamed Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) in May 1998 and later to simply SPD in July 2014 to better reflect the work that we do of serving people with a wide spectrum of disabilities beyond only physical. To strengthen governance and better position the organisation for future growth, SPD transitioned from a society to a company limited by guarantee (CLG), becoming SPD Ltd. with effect from 1 April 2026. As a CLG, SPD Ltd. remains a non-profit entity fully committed to carrying forward the mission and work of the former society.
