“This course is helping me learn about occupational therapy, physiotherapy, the rights of people with disabilities and more. I really love the environment at APD and it motivates me to develop my capacity to help people with disabilities. After my course ends, I want to work in this field and help children with disabilities live a better life.”

– Bhagyashree Patil,
