Enable persons with autism to lead dignified and meaningful lives.
We serve persons with autism and their families through quality education, training and care, distinguished by Christian love and compassion.
AUTISM LASTS A LIFETIME.
NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THAT JOURNEY ALONE.
SAAC serves persons with autism and their families, journeying with them through their various challenges at different life stages.
We do so through a special education school, day activity centres, and our residential home – Singapore’s first autism facility specially designed and built for adults with autism.
We see a world where persons with autism lead dignified and meaningful lives, regardless of their abilities.
MORE THAN 50,000 PERSONS ARE DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM IN SINGAPORE.
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people communicate, interact with others, and perceive the world around them.
You may have heard the phrase “spectrum” when it comes to autism, and that’s because it’s a broad term that encompasses a wide range of abilities and challenges. Some individuals with autism may have difficulty with social interactions and communication, while others may struggle with sensory processing or repetitive behaviours. No two individuals with autism are exactly alike, and each person experiences the condition in their own unique way.
While autism is a lifelong condition, we can help these individuals communicate more effectively and improve their quality of life through early intervention and support. Let’s work together to ensure that everyone with autism, regardless of their ability, gets the support they need!
While autism may last a lifetime, persons with autism need not journey alone.
Together, we can make every journey one of love, support, and lifelong dignity.

Improve their quality of life.
While autism is lifelong and has no known cure, persons with autism need not journey alone. You can help these individuals better manage the challenges of the condition and lead fulfilling and meaningful lives through lifelong acceptance and support. Whether you choose to give once or monthly, your giving will help improve their quality of life.
Your gift of time can change their lives (and yours).
At the heart of volunteering at SAAC is getting to know a person who is wired differently from the rest of us. Embark on a journey to befriend people who have autism and see life through their eyes.
Make enriching their world part of your CSR.
We invite you to partner us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can provide essential support, resources, and opportunities to create a brighter future for individuals with autism and their families.
Come change the world for persons with autism.
