About Ummeed
One in eight Indian children has a developmental disability (such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, language delays, Down syndrome, and others). This extrapolates to over 50 million children with or at risk of disabilities in India.
Ummeed Child Development Center is a not-for-profit organization working in the space of childhood disabilities. In over 20 years of its journey, Ummeed has provided direct clinical services to over 12,500 children and families (developmental pediatrician assessments and consults, occupational and physiotherapy, autism intervention, mental health services, testing, remedial services, and social work services). Its clinical work is complemented by training services that aim to build a network of trained medical and school professionals as well as community workers who can prevent, diagnose, and manage developmental disabilities effectively. Over the years, Ummeed has trained over 5000 trainees from across the country. Ummeed’s awareness initiatives aim to change societal attitudes towards children with disabilities, and its research efforts aim to influence the academic community.
Over the last five years, Ummeed has grown from a 50+ member team to a 100+ member team, its annual budget has increased three-fold (from 3.5 crores to 11 crores) and its impact has increased about 24-fold (from about 10,000 to over 2,50,000 children).
Over the next few years, Ummeed is looking to consolidate its position as a center-of-excellence, expand/ deepen its influence in multiple geographies in India, disseminate its models of care locally as well as internationally, and set up a center (a physical space) dedicated to the cause of child development and childhood disability.
