SPD Chinese Website

SPD is a local charity set up to help people with disabilities, or who may develop disabling conditions, of all ages to maximise their potential and integrate them into mainstream society. Through over 20 programmes that encompass early intervention, therapy, vocational training, assistive technology, day care, as well as educational, employment and social service support, we serve people with physical, sensory and learning needs.

Founded in 1964 by a group of Rotarians, we were known as Society for Aid to the Paralysed (SAP). In the earlier years, SAP provided employment opportunities at its sheltered workshop to people with disabilities who had difficulties seeking open employment. We were renamed Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) in May 1998 and subsequently to just SPD in July 2014 to better reflect the work that SPD does – serving people beyond physical disabilities.

Since 2020 SIMSYS has been working closely with SPD to engage Chinese speaking target audience. SIMSYS has volunteered to design, develop and maintain the SPD Chinese website since 2021.
