People with disability are ignored and neglected. The World Health Organisation has termed them "the poorest of the poor". More than 25 million people in India live with some form of disability. The lack of equal educational and employment opportunities for persons with disability forms one of the causes for their poverty and exclusion.
ADAPT has been providing services of assessment, screening, inclusive education, therapy, vocational and skills training and activities for socio-emotional development as well as capacity building for staff, parents, teachers, therapists and corporates for the past 5 decades. The cost per beneficiaries is approximately Rs.1,80,000/- per annum. Most of our beneficiaries belong to the lower socio economic strata and are unable to contribute to the cost of the services.
The funds generated through the TMM will be used to sustain these services for persons with disability and will meet part of the expenses of beneficiaries enrolled at our Bandra, Colaba, Chembur and Dharavi centres. This will empower children and youth with disability through education and health services, sensitize the community as well as sustain and expand the reach of our services so that a greater number of children and young adults can be benefitted.
