The Association of People with Disability is a non-governmental organisation devoted to empowering people with disabilities to live full, productive lives.
Since its founding in 1959, we have worked tirelessly to make it possible for people with disabilities (PWDs) to fully participate in all aspects of society, including but not limited to interventions in healthcare, education, employment, and advocacy.
From our headquarters in Bangalore, we administer programmes across urban and rural South India and state of Maharashtra, serving people of all ages who suffer from a wide variety of physical and mental disabilities.
APD's approach to supporting Persons with Disbilities is distinct, offering tailored services based on the type and severity of disability, as well as specific program goals. Utilizing both Institution-based Rehabilitation (IBR) and Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) models, APD ensures that all beneficiaries and their caregivers receive comprehensive training, rehabilitation, and therapy from a multidisciplinary team. Additionally, custom-made prosthetic and mobility aids are produced in- house to meet individual needs. APD works closely with various service providers and government bodies to deliver these essential services to beneficiaries in urban, semi-urban, and rural areas.
We have touched more than one million lives since our inception, last year alone impacted more than 5 lakh lives. .

Our Vision
A world where equity, dignity and justice are assured for people with disability.

Our Mission
Nurture an inclusive ecosystem and empower people with disabilities by ensuring access to comprehensive rehabilitation services, rights, entitlements, equal opportunities and dignity through a life cycle approach.
Nothing about us, without us.
We believe that every policy, intervention, or action about PWDs should be taken with their participation in that decision. Our work as a facilitator, integrator, and catalyst of change, aims to increase the social, political and economic influence of people with disabilities in society.
People are more than just beneficiaries; they are fully capable members of society who want the opportunity to realise their full potential.

Every year, three lakh wheelchairs are sold in India, of which two and half lakh are imported. 95% of all wheelchairs sold in India are one-size-fits-all. They restrict mobility, damage health, and lower self-confidence. Few wheelchair users can safely and independently transfer into tricycles and modified scooters. How can we expect the majority of wheelchair users to go outdoors? NeoMotion is here to transform this ! .

NeoMotion, an IIT Madras startup, creates transformative products for wheelchair users (elderly, physically challenged) to enable them to be an inclusive part of society. NeoMotion works with NGOs, Foundation and CSR bodies to implement impactful projects in the space of Disability. The projects are majorly looking to achieve the SDG10 Goal of Reduced Inequalities. While the end-beneficairy is a person with disability, the impact thematic areas also encompass Education, Livelihood and Para-Sports.
