Assistive and Adaptive Technology (AAT) Unit provides affordable, good-quality and customised assistive devices to persons with disabilities, especially in rural and underserved communities across India.
From prostheses and orthoses to wheelchairs, mobility aids, postural supports, hearing aids and accessibility products, we provide personalised solutions through assessment, design, manufacturing, fitting and follow-up.
Through our Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation (MDR) services, APD programmes, ASHA workers and partner NGOs, we strive to reach the last mile and ensure no one is left behind.
69,000+ assistive devices delivered, countless possibilities enabled. Each device supports a person’s journey towards greater mobility, independence and participation in education, livelihoods and community life.
We hold camps across communities to find persons with disabilities in need of mobility assistance. Through these camps, our qualified staff members visit persons with disabilities and assess their specific needs before manufacturing the required assistive devices.
Our approach combines individual assessment, affordability, customisation and clinical expertise to support mobility, accessibility and independence.
We prioritise individual needs to ensure people with disabilities receive appropriate assistive devices and mobility solutions.
We make assistive technology affordable and accessible through good-quality, customised devices designed to meet each person’s unique needs, ensuring comfort, functionality and independence.
We combine clinical expertise, innovative technology and user-centred design to deliver customised, high-quality assistive devices that enhance accessibility, mobility, independence and inclusion.
We manufacture Orthotics including callipers, crutches, splints and AFOs, as well as prostheses such as artificial limbs.
We also provide end-to-end support for the production, adaption, and distribution of custom-made devices for people with disabilities.
“I may be disabled but I am also perfect, just like everyone else. Growing up, my family and friends always supported my dreams of living a regular life. Thanks to APD, I learned how to make my own callipers as well as assistive devices for other people with disabilities like me.”Maheshwari
