A soft word of encouragement.
A gentle touch and then…finally…a small step forward.
Every little movement is a reason to delight and rejoice.

Day after day, week after week, APD’s therapeutic interventions provide the much needed healing touch and succor – physically as well psychologically for children and people with disabilities.

Customized as they are to suit the needs of each individual, APD’s therapeutic interventions gradually improve the functional abilities and mobility of people. This change leads to self-confidence and pride, and slowly restoring the person’s zeal to live life to his fullest.

APD’s therapy team assesses the disability, devises and implements a customized therapy schedule. This is supported with regular follow review of progress.

Recognizing that those around people with disabilities, especially children, are an essential part of recovery and improvement, APD provides training to care givers and families. The training involves:

• Teaching therapy exercises to the parents/care-givers.
• Disability awareness programmes for mothers of children with disability.
• Child-to-Child programme where older children and siblings of children with disability are trained in child-specific exercises as well as in the appropriate use and maintenance of aids and appliances.

These help the caregivers and family members the necessary hands on experience to support children and people with disabilities in a more efficient manner.
