BACKGROUND
A patient who has had a major stroke goes through a long journey of rehabilitation and
recovery. Many patients find the process daunting, especially the elderly.
Only 1 in 5 patients continue with rehabilitation after they are discharged. Among them,
only 5% remain in the programme after one year.* Without rehabilitation, patients’
physical abilities deteriorate and they may become more frail.

Being a Good Sport
16-year-old Ethan has moderate
autism and usually has difficulty
understanding instructions when
playing sports. The lack of sports
programmes for children with
special needs in Singapore
also meant that Ethan had little
access to physical activities.
But ever since Ethan joined
Play-Ability’s basketball
programme, even his mother
Susan was surprised by what
he could do in sports. After
just three sessions, he could
differentiate between a chest
pass and a bounce pass!
“Sports has improved
Ethan’s quality of life.
The basketball sessions
were also good bonding
time spent for us.”

is a participant in Play-Ability’s
