Residential Support

Flourish for Life is a Life Skills Training Series by the Autism Resource Centre (Singapore) with support from the Autism Association (Singapore). It provides individuals and their caregivers with assessments in independent living skills as well as autism-focused, structured and authentic training in community living skills. The training offerings at the centre range from modular workshops to stay-in programmes.

Within the Flourish for Life series is the Temasek Foundation - Autism Resource Centre (Singapore) Supported Living and Training Programme (TF-ARC(S) SLT). The goal of this programme is to provide supported living training and services to individuals on the autism spectrum with low to moderate needs, aged 18 years old and above, in Singapore.

This programme is a shared community living programme that aims to provide clients with a safe place to return home every day, enabling them to meet their basic needs of stability and dignity. Clients will receive training in independent living skills, such as self-management and household management. Support will also be provided to facilitate the development of social skills and self-help skills for accessing services in the community.

At present, application for this residential programme is open to Singapore Citizens and PRs above 18 years of age, with a primary diagnosis of Autism. Admission is subjected to the outcome of an intake assessment evaluating suitability for community living and compatibility with flatmates.
