The Assistive Technology Fund (ATF) provides subsidies for persons with disabilities to purchase assistive technology devices to enable more independent living, study and employment. Successful applicants qualify for a means-tested subsidy of up to 90% of the cost of the required equipment, subject to a lifetime cap of $40,000.

The Fund can be used to acquire, replace, upgrade or repair assistive technology devices. The devices should aid in purposes of early intervention, education, training, employment, therapy, rehabilitation and/or independence in daily living.

Employer’s should be aware of the Employment Support for Persons with Disabilities – a programme supported by Workforce Singapore and SkillsFuture Singapore, administered by SG Enable, to enhance the employability of and increase employment options for people with disabilities. Through this programme, employers can gain access to subsidies, grants, and employment facilitation services to help them hire and integrate people with disabilities and impairments into their organisations.
