About Us

Who are we?

Elevating you from helplessness to self-help through your holistic development

Serving

We are an organisation that is serving 80 plus students currently and addressing their educational as well as other training needs. We have created an all-around development facility for PDAs that would tend to their different requirements.
At CPAI, we intend to make life independent and fulfilling for the PDA’s. It takes an extra effort for them, but it is just a matter of holding hands and leading them in the right direction, and this has been our perpetual effort.
Our teachings are not just confined to the classroom, but our outdoor trips are enriching the outlook and approach of our students.
We also guide our student’s parents with rehabilitation and domiciliary care, alleviate the health of poorly cared as well as develop their interests and abilities.

Community

At CPAI, our endeavour is transforming PDAs life journeys from helplessness to self-help, and we have thus built a community that can self-sustain and grow. From an educational centre in 1995, we have forayed into providing the vocational course to bring purpose to their life and enjoy learning and earning.

We have trained our students under various vocational courses to create stuff that we exhibit and sell through exhibitions and corporate gifting. Our students are adept at creating designer paper bags, creative candles, beaded jewellery, torans, rangoli, diyas and decorated boxes.

As a community, we are making them independent by advising them on the social, economic, and educational parameters.

Life at CPAI

Life is anything but boring at CPAI. It is our constant endeavor to engage our students in different initiatives and bring them life learnings that would make them independent and fulfilled in every aspect.

Learning computers & Livelihood Programs

Our Livelihood training is very transforming and has been able to place 85% of our trainees in malls, cafes, manufacturing units, retail, hospitality, and medical sectors.
This training is offered to our PDAs with multiple handicaps where they are trained on personality development, confidence, behavior’s change, cash handling customer dealing, basic hygiene and computer competencies.
We have been able to place our PDA trainees at Love & Latte Coffee House, Taj Lands End, Intelenet Global Services Private Limited, India Bull, Deloitte, Teleperformance, Inorbit Mall, Big Bazar, Reliance Fresh, Chai Pe Charcha, Mohini Artificial Jewellery (manufacturing unit), Soulflower and Ganesh Enterprises.

Therapies & Unit

We engage our PDAs in continuous learning and therapies that can stimulate their working and living patters towards an independent life. Our therapies are aimed at an extensive and holistic development. We provide to our PDAs development through –

1- Physiotherapy
2- Occupational therapy
3- Speech therapy
4- Psychological assessment cum counselling
5- Diet and nutrition

Our PDAs are also supplemented with mid-day meals, evening snacks and bus service during their therapies. We urge our donors to donate, so we can extend our services to the much needy.

Awareness created

3rd December is marked as International Day for People with Disabilities since 2013. Every year we celebrate this day with participation from students from mainstream schools and institutions as a special initiative towards spreading awareness about PDAs.

We in association with the social welfare department, encourage our PDA students to perform, entertain and compete in different initiatives. 

Our motive is to offer them a platform where they can perform on their special interests and abilities, as well as make people aware of the potential of these special students.

One of its kind

We emerge one of its kind as we believe in delivering one of its kind exposure and experience.

Under one such great initiative, we were joined by the Regional Deputy Commissioner of Mumbai, Ministry of Social Justice and University of Mumbai together towards the Divyang Sanskrutik Mahotsav, on 4th February 2017. This event was hosted at the University of Mumbai.

We strive to deliver the best and get most of the social interactions for our students. This enhances their interaction capabilities and raises confidence.

Appeal

Starting with humble beginnings in 1968, we have come a long way. CPAI has over the years been benefited from a lot of help and support and expresses its wholehearted gratitude.

It has been possible due to the contributions of the different people and associations who came forward to believe and support in our objective.
