Lucas is a quiet individual who enjoys binge watching shows at home. Ever since his graduation from a SPED school, it has been tough for his parents to engage him meaningfully while juggling their busy work schedule.
After registering with ESH @ Tampines however, he has developed a structured routine of taking public transport independently, participating in activities that he enjoys, and buying food for himself. He has also become more sociable, is happier and enjoys the company of others.
Lucas’ parents are pleased with the structure of ESH programmes, which allows Lucas to go out and participate in community-based activities rather than being restricted to a confined space. He is also able to practise and reinforce the skills he picked up at his SPED school.
If you are living in Tampines or Bedok and looking to participate in ESH activities like Lucas, email eshtamp@spd.org.sg or call 6230 9902.
