Ongoing / Planned Future Activities 

Assistive Technology Skills Laboratory, New Delhi

The AT Skills Lab is a place that will facilitate access, awareness, research, and training in the field of AT, for healthcare workers, disabled people, their families, and other caregivers alike.

Pilot Assistive Technology Centre, Patna

This is the first stage of our multi-year holistic programme to bridge the AT care gap in Bihar and Jharkhand. This Centre will serve as the backbone for launching AT and tele-health services state-wide. This programme is based on four pillars: 

  • Increasing access to assistive technology & healthcare, for disabled people, people recovering from injuries, and the ageing population from marginalised backgrounds;

  • Providing free and low-cost AT services, to ensure access to quality healthcare regardless of socio-economic status;

  • Providing holistic support, involving medical education, assistance, rehabilitation and AT to under one roof; and

  • Facilitating the empowerment and independence of disabled persons, thereby realising their right to full participation and inclusion in all aspects of society. 

Tele-health Services

Most people in need of AT services may be unable to physically access AT Centres, due to financial or logistical constraints. Our Tele-health services will bridge this gap, by providing diagnosis, needs assessments, and rehabilitation services over phone and video consultation.
