Day Activity Centre

Day Activity Centre

The Day Activity Centre (DAC) provides day care for adults with cerebral palsy or multiple disabilities aged 18 to 55 years old who require higher support. The aim is to nurture self-help skills through a balanced and structured curriculum of daily living, social skills training, therapy rehabilitation care and recreational activities. The DAC was established in February 2006.
