People with Intellectual Disabilities in Singapore

In partnership with MINDS MYG, this episode introduces the important People with Intellectual Disabilities (PWID) community in Singapore. We hear from Jessica (not her real name), a caregiver and volunteer about her experience directly, and as you can imagine from previous SGExplained episodes, this gets inspirational very quickly. In this episode, you can look forward to: 

• Getting a more specific definition of what Intellectual Disabilities entail 
• Debunk myths about PWIDs e.g. whether autism and intellectual disability are the same 
• Learn about how caregivers can also practice self-care as they support PWIDs 

You can volunteer by signing up on the MINDS MYG homepage here.
