Enabling Skills for Life Programme

ESLP image

The Enabling Skills for Life Programme (ESLP) is an initiative by the Ministry of Social and Family Development and SG Enable. The programme aims to equip persons with disabilities with independent living and vocational skills, empowering them to navigate daily life at home and in the community with greater confidence, and to integrate well into vocational settings. The programme also engages and provides support services for their caregivers and families.

Training Framework

ESLP will focus on providing training to persons with disabilities as part of a continuum of training services available to them across their lifetime. The training consists of the following skill domains to build independence to live at home and to participate in the community.
  • Independent living skills
  • Communication and language
  • Social emotional skills
  • Vocational skills
  • Behaviour management
Persons with disabilities enrolled in ESLP will be profiled across 5 archetypes of Support Levels based on their needs in each skill domain. The training is anchored in individualised development plans, to ensure that persons with disabilities are supported at the correct level, and the family is enabled to translate learnings from centre to home.
