Context : One in eight Indian children in the age group of 2-9 years have a 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. Childhood disability is a complex issue that cuts across multiple dimensions of family and society, including healthcare systems, education, community life and policy. Because of the lack of access to skilled resources and the challenges around how society views disability (deficit-model, stigma), much remains to be done in this space in India as well as the world over. About Ummeed (www.ummeed.org): For the last twenty years, Ummeed has been working towards creating an inclusive world for children with developmental disabilities and their families. The goal is to help them participate and have a sense of agency in the various ecosystems they are part of (such as home, school, and community). Early identification, early and appropriate interventions, and creating platforms for their voices become important steps towards these outcomes, and Ummeed works towards these through clinical services, training and capacity building, research, awareness, and advocacy initiatives. Over the last five years, Ummeed has grown from a 50+ member team to a 120+ member team. It is seen as a center-of-excellence in the child development and disabilities space, and is looking to 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. Ummeed's work straddles multiple ecosystems and this is reflected in the diversity of its staff that range from medical professionals (paediatricians, therapists) to professionals invested in school inclusion (the school outreach team) to professionals working with community based organizations (the early childhood development and disabilities team) to program managers, researchers and professionals from backgrounds such as information technology, communications, marketing, human resources, and others. Caregivers and people with disabilities are a crucial part of this mix. Ummeed is a diverse organization, committed to equity and inclusion within its workforce as well as beyond.
