What?
Sundac is a daycare centre for adults with intellectual disability and cerebral palsy.
The Problem
The clients in Sundac can only communicate through gestures understood between the caretakers and themselves. It lacks standardisation and consistency to be understood by the bigger community. The lack of communications is preventing clients from expressing their needs effectively.
The Solution
By implementing ALS (aided language stimulation) and a work flow system to the centre, the clients would be equipped with a visual communication display. They could point tot he correct symbols and express themselves easily.
Presenting our project to Member of Parliament Low Yen Ling.
The execution
We wanted to get the bigger community involved in this project too. So we decided to collect old jars and bottles from the residents living nearby the Sundac centre, and get the clients to them into terrariums . That way, we would be championing recycling at the same time that we implement the ALS and work flow system.
Flyers that we distributed to the residents a week before the collection of the old bottles.
The work system and the ALS were implemented through making the terrariums. Both teaching methods could be used for other simple things such as making Milo. folding clothes, cleaning the floor or picking a movie.
The project culminated with the clients returning the old jars that had been turned into terrariums back to the residents who donated them.
