Madhya Pradesh- Bhopal

In response to the devastating Bhopal gas tragedy and its profound impact on society, our organization felt compelled to address the resulting disabilities and challenges faced by individuals. In 2017, we inaugurated a branch in Bhopal with a strong commitment to serving Persons with Different Abilities (PDAs).

Our Bhopal branch is dedicated to supporting multiple handicapped and underprivileged women.

The success of our initiatives is attributed to a dedicated team comprising professional therapists, expert trainers, influential mentors, and a group of enthusiastic volunteers. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and passion to our cause.

At present, our Bhopal branch is proud to accommodate around 60 beneficiaries, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to opening our doors to many more individuals in need.

Our therapies are aimed at an extensive and holistic development. We provide to our PDAs development through Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy, Speech Therapy, Psychological, Diet and Nutrition Counselling and Dance & Music Therapy.

Physiotherapy

At our centre, we provide detailed and researched therapy. After the assessment is taken by our Physiotherapist, appropriate therapy techniques are used, that include neurodevelopmental technique, balance training, fine motor training and gross motor training. Along with rehabilitation, the parents are guided while treating their children.

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapies can help kids with certain learning and attention issues in doing daily activities that they struggle with.

Speech Therapy

Psychological Counselling

These therapies help kids with mental disorders and intellectual disabilities.. Assessment is done to screen the underlying cause of the issue and the treatment is provided thereafter. We conduct different therapies such as behavioural therapy, expressive arts therapy, Dealing with the effects of initial diagnosis & subsequent stressors, Responding to behavioral difficulties, Addressing the effects of physical or sexual abuse or family violence, Navigating stressful life transitions

Diet and Nutrition

We have dietitians responsible for the nutritional management of PDAs. It is well recognized that people with disabilities are at risk of nutritional problems, and therefore, provision of dietetics services for this group is vital. A few selected ones are provided with specific diet charts time to time guidance as per customization.

Dance Therapy

At CPAI, we have a well-trained professional dance teacher who trains the PDAs with her two assistants twice a week. She teaches different forms of dance such as dassic, folk and contemporary to connect the mind and body through movements. During lockdown, we provicded online sessions and held an online dance competition on the occasion of Independence Day. Now we havea group of special PDAs who can perform dance professionally.
