St. Andrew's Autism School (SAAS)

SAAS is run by St. Andrew’s Autism Centre — a service of St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital that also operates day activity centres and Singapore’s first autism-designed adult residential home, which matters to parents thinking past age 18: this operator’s support doesn’t stop at graduation. The school serves students diagnosed with ASD who are ambulant.
