IPS Exchange Series: Public Attitudes to Persons with Disability and their Inclusion within Singapore Society

Public attitudes towards people with disabilities (PWDs) in Singapore are generally positive as shown by the results of an online survey using a consumer panel of over 1800 eligible respondents. Respondents express strong support for fostering inter-personal relationships with PWDs and for achieving more inclusive socio-political outcomes. 

While survey findings demonstrate openness of the population to the inclusion of PWDs, the qualitative segment of the study show the range of concerns of PWDs, their caregivers and disability service professionals; reminding us that inclusion is still very much a work-in progress.  Greater public awareness and policy support could help address existing gaps and foster a more inclusive Singapore society for PWDs and their families.
