Taskforce on Assurance for Familities with Persons with Disabilities
New support to help persons with disabilities and their families plan ahead, find and keep jobs, and live well in the community.
On 4 October 2026, the Taskforce on Assurance for Families with Persons with Disabilities released its recommendations to strengthen support for persons with disabilities and their families across life stages. Formed in December 2025, the Taskforce responds to families' concerns about the "post-18 cliff", the uncertainty many face after a loved one graduates from a Special Education (SPED) school.
The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and other ministries will put these recommendations in place with SG Enable, the national agency for disability, and partners across the disability sector.
