APDA, founded in 1988, continues to be managed and run by Asian people with in-depth knowledge and personal experience of disability and caring. It is a non-governmental community organization.
Aims and objectives:
- To provide needs-led and user-led, culturally-appropriate services that the mainstream service providers are unable to provide because of less or no expertise in culturally related matters of Asian disabled people and their carers and families.
- To work in partnership and in collaboration with service planners and other mainstream bodies to help incorporate the particular needs of APDA's client groups in service planning and other programmes that affect their lives.
- To act as resource for Asian disabled people and their carers and families for consultation, peer support, exchange of information and ideas, etc, and as facilitators in their social development.
