The Association of People with Disability empowers people with disabilities to live full, productive lives.
Our ‘Life Cycle Approach’ facilitates the social awareness and public infrastructure needed to grant them the independence they deserve at all stages of their life.
We have served over 700,000+ individuals with disabilities through interventions in healthcare, education, employment, and advocacy, and have sensitised over 1,000,000+ people to the cause.
In India, our work adds to the government initiatives and schemes already in place to support those with disabilities. But there is still more work to be done, and you can help us do it.
We are authorised to receive foreign donations under Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA), registration number 094421352.

APD provides fulfilling internships to students of all ages, providing them with character-building life experiences and an understanding of disability.
If you are looking to build empathy in your child as an enlightened young citizen, APD can give them a safe and life-changing experience. If you have a curriculum or other requirements for your project, we can help craft a suitable project. Many APD interns have gone on to study at international universities where APD projects have played a helpful role in their applications.
If you are taking a gap year while you decide what you wish to do next in your life, come and intern with us – it will give you an opportunity to understand the real India, make an impact in someone’s life and may help you decide your future.
APD welcomes summer interns who may wish to gain experience in the social sector or in a social enterprise like our Assistive Devices or Horticulture units.
We have had students visiting APD for periods up to 4-8 weeks to gain firsthand practical experience of working with disadvantaged communities.
APD has clinical internships available in multiple areas related to health and rehabilitation including but not limited to physical and occupational therapy, speech and hearing, prosthetics and orthotics, psychology, special education and others. APD works with clinical interns from over 50 colleges in India and overseas.
