A LIFE CYCLE APPROACH

A life cycle approach

APD works across healthcare, education, rehabilitation, livelihoods, accessibility and advocacy so people with disabilities can move through life with more choice, participation and dignity.

It can begin with early support in childhood and continue through education, rehabilitation, livelihoods and access—at every stage, creating more room for choice, participation and dignity.

STORIES OF ACCESS IMPACT

From a child’s first step to an adult’s first job.

From early support to inclusive classrooms, meaningful work and accessible communities,
each step can help people participate with greater choice and dignity.

Child receiving early intervention support
EARLY INTERVENTION

A first independent step can change what feels possible.

Early intervention can help children and families access the support needed for development, participation and confidence. APD reports that 50,500+ children have benefited through early intervention.

A parent shared the joy of seeing their child make progress and enter an Anganwadi after early-intervention support — a meaningful next step into learning and community life.
Children participating in inclusive education
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

Every learner deserves a place in the classroom.

Inclusive education helps learners participate in school, build skills and belong alongside their peers. APD has educated 46,700+ children through its education work.

A classroom becomes more powerful when every learner is included.

LIVELIHOODS

Skills and opportunity can open the door to work.

APD supports people with disabilities towards skills, inclusive livelihoods and employment pathways. 72,700+ individuals have been supported through inclusive livelihoods, with 120+ prospective employers engaged across South India.

Work is more than income: it is participation, contribution and choice.

Accessible community participation
ACCESS AND DIGNITY

Access belongs in everyday life.

Mobility aids, rehabilitation, accessible environments and advocacy can make daily participation possible. Through its #YesToAccess initiative, APD advocates for more accessible public spaces and barrier-free infrastructure.

Dignity grows when barriers are removed — together.
