Access Life-Changing Treatment At WINGS Therapy & Learning Center Singapore

Groundbreaking Therapies

WINGS was started by a mother, Julia, and her special needs son, Jake, in 2017. Jake was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic mutation (NACC1), which affects Jake’s ability to walk, talk and live a life of independence. He was also born with congenital cataracts in both his eyes. By the time he was just four months old, he was having approximately 1,000 seizures a day and missed his initial milestones. It was then that Julia was told that her child might never walk, talk or gain independence.

This inspired Julia and Jake’s 10-year journey across the globe in search for solutions, and opened their eyes to breakthrough therapies not available in Asia, such as the Intensive Model of Therapy (IMOT) framework, Suit Therapy, Cuevas Medek Exercises and Dynamic Movement Intervention.

Knowing there were kids like Jake back home who deserved the chance to experience these treatments, they decided to sell all their belongings to start WINGS and bring these therapies to other kids in Southeast Asia.

Supporting Teens And Young Adults

In May 2024, WINGS unveiled its expansion with the introduction of the WINGS Youth Center, a pioneering clinic – the first of its kind in Singapore and the wider Southeast Asian region.

This center is dedicated to catering to the diverse rehabilitation needs of special needs youths aged 13-25 years and offers specialized support for a wide spectrum of neuromuscular, metabolic and genetic conditions.

Welcoming Group Intervention Programs

In May 2024, WINGS also announced the introduction of group intervention programs that help parents implement exercises from WINGS’ signature therapies within the home environment.

The primary goal of this initiative is to empower parents and caregivers to provide support for their special ones with professionally-guided, high quality therapy from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, it aims to offer opportunities for parents who may not have the means for individual daily therapy sessions for their child to access high-quality physical rehabilitation.
