About Ummeed Shivam was about 3 years old when his mother Mrs. Jadhav, started feeling concerned that he spoke very little and did not interact much with people. She spoke to her pediatrician who advised that Shivam undergo speech therapy. In spite of 4-5 months of therapy, Shivam did not make much progress. Shivam's mother heard about Ummeed from a friend, and brought him in for an assessment. She learned from the Developmental Pediatrician at Ummeed that Shivam has Autism, which is why he struggles with communication and socialization. Over 24 sessions with Ummeed's Autism Intervention Team, Shivam has started speaking with his mother and playing with children in his building. An Occupational Therapist is helping him become more independent in his daily routine, while the Social Work team is helping his mother identify schools and other services in her neighborhood. In the corridor at Ummeed, the previously quiet Shivam confidently gives high-fives to all Ummeed staff members, including those he doesn- t yet know! Shivam's story is not unique. India has over 50 million children with disabilities under the age of 15. While some disabilities such as Down Syndrome are visible, others like autism and learning disability are invisible. Life can be difficult anywhere for children with disabilities - they get poor healthcare, are more likely to be out of school, are more likely to be bullied, and rarely get included in leisure and fun activities that all children should have access to. At the same time, there is overwhelming evidence that the kind of multi-disciplinary care Shivam received is vital and effective. With access to appropriate medical and education services as well as recreation, children with disabilities can meaningfully participate in activities at home, school, and community, and become productive members of the society. In 19 years of its journey (we were founded in 2001 by Dr. Vibha Krishnamurthy, a developmental paediatrician), Ummeed has provided clinical services to over 10,000 children and families. Each year, about 1100- 1200 children receive direct services through about 7500- 8000 sessions (ranging from developmental pediatrician assessments and consults, occupational and physiotherapy, autism intervention, mental health services, testing, remedial services, and social work services). Through this journey, the Ummeed team has held on to and promoted the following principles of care: - Recognition of families as experts on the child's strengths and their social context, making them partners in care - being family centred - Conscious shift from the traditional medical approach of fixing something that is - wrong-, to one that embraces and builds on the strengths of the child and the family - Acknowledgement that the child's development is influenced by multiple individuals and factors in the immediate and distal environment - the biopsychosocial model Our clinical work is complemented by our 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 eectively; our awareness efforts that aim to change societal attitudes towards children with disabilities; and our research efforts to engage with and influence the academic community.
