SAME SAME
Welcome to SAME SAME: Capacity-building and Empowerment e-Mentorship Program!
​
The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of communication technology and its acceptance in facilitating social relationships for people with IDD (intellectual developmental disabilities).
Building upon this trend, SAME SAME aims to develop and test the effectiveness of a Capacity-building and Empowerment e-Mentorship Program. This program will empower 50 adults with mild IDD (between the ages of 18 and 64) with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead their peers, with or without IDD, in games and activities designed to improve functional fitness.
What We Expect
SAME SAME strives to develop independent living skills, reinforce community-based services, build new job skills, promote inclusive education, increase recognition of the work performed by people with IDD, and improve the availability of high-quality learning opportunities.
