Deficiência

In our country, we are trying to change perception and attitudes towards cleft and craniofacial patients. Considering that they are not "urgent", care for them may be only scheduled periodically or during missions. Yet cleft and craniofacial patients need continuing comprehensive quality care. We also want that parents be pro-active and partners in the treatment of their children. As cleft and craniofacial cases are not mere mission cases: follow through at home and by the cleft team is very much needed. We envision that people could access care without restrictions of time or mere reliance on missions and educate people to work for this and not to depend on dole-outs. Patients and professionals will endeavor to help each other in a multidisciplinary care approach and not surgery only.

Technology: We see this as having the right means and methods in patient care. Hence equipment and instrument have to be available. The Patient Medical Record System has to be computerized completely to make services efficient and research including appraisal of treatment protocols accurate. This will enable us to sustain and share best practices.
Education and Training of Volunteers and Staff will redound to better care and services for the patients. At the same time, it would be ideal to impart empowering ideas for our patients to make all cure and healing synchronized in the person. Investing to enhance the volunteers expertise, and keep their interest to give their time and energy will realize the shared vision and is essential for sustainable collaboration of partners.

NCFPI envisions to make comprehensive and craniofacial care accessible to Filipinos by empowering Filipino professionals in the delivery of competent treatment that meets international standards for cleft lip, cleft palate, and craniofacial patients. With this, NCFPI aims to establish sustainable craniofacial centers in the Philippines led by teams of medical and allied medical specialists and professionals who are trained and equipped to provide world-class craniofacial services to Filipinos especially the indigents. This is done by strengthening all cleft programs of services and communicating the extension of their services to our target customers. This work has to be properly supported by effective administrative processes and internal organizational coherence.

The motto of the foundation is "Love makes whole".  NCFPI commits itself to the following core values:
Heartfelt Concern: compassionate, holistic care given to its beneficiaries including advocacy for their social acceptance in society
Committed Teamwork: specialists are consistently available and dependable to resolve medical problems faced by patients
Comprehensive & Continuing Care: patients receive cleft care and treatment in a multi-disciplinary setting from birth till adulthood
Competent Practice: professional treatment that meets international standards including critical assessment of results through research.
Family-oriented Approach: involves the family especially the parents in the treatment process of their children
Camaraderie: promotes cheerful, positive, collaboratio

Our customers are the cleft and craniofacial patients in the National Capital Region of the Philippines and all those who can come to us for treatement either for primary or secondary surgery and other ancillary care for cleft patients.

Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines, Inc. (NCFPI) calls for an Integrated Marketing Strategy (IMS) that weaves together plans and activities at the national, regional and community levels. The objective is to increase market base and penetrate through effective (i.e., in cost and method) means of communication.
1. Associations/Outreach: Includes conferences, sponsorships, various networks and groups, businesses. 2. Web Presence: Information and resources. 3. Earned (Free) Media Coverage generation & publicity through promotional efforts & good public relation. 4. Paid Media-Direct Advertising or thru an Ad Agency - if there is a sponsor. 5.Direct Mail - Print/Electronic include newsletter & other marketing collaterals. 6. Face-to-face meeting- Relationship Cultivation

We provide Primary and Secondary Cleft Surgeries, Cleft Orthognathic Surgery, Craniofacial Surgery and other Ancillary Services like Orthodontic treatment (Pre-operative naso-alveolar molding or NAM, Quadhelix, Braces), Alveolar bone grafting, Pediatric and Genetic medical consult, Pediatric and General Dentistry, Speech Therapy, Prosthodontic works, Mothers' Class and other Social Services for the patients and their family. We also have transportation and food subsidy for indigent patients including board and lodging linkages during treatment. All these are done by linkages with individuals or charitable groups willing to help cleft patients.

Peers and competitors are those do the same surgical treatment. If their work is not done well, we can repair the work they did but the expense will be greater and this is more costly in all aspects for the patients. The solution to comprehensive and complete care is not fostered as people think that treatment is only for primary sugery.

On Resources. In a short span of time, NCFPI became more known and has more patients. It found itself in need of these four types of capital: environmental, in-kind, financial, and human. Environmental resource refers to the current environmental setting (in the hospital, community, or political climate) affecting the patients and the foundation.We emphasize that human capital is the most important asset in the collaboration. Personnel need more management training and systems in the organization have to be institutionalize. Need for more space and facilities was seen.

(1) Real People Impacts: the actual number of more lives changed by the treatment.(2) Policy Development. Pursue cooperation with government in terms of instituting policies supportive of the collaborative efforts for cleft care(3) Systems Development. Services have expanded beyond primary surgery and the organization’s systems are developing.(4) Resource Development. Get more volunteers /donors

We can say this is the case if the volunteer professionals could treat patients anytime. This means having dedicated venues of services that our solely ours and not shared with the hospital's other departments. Then, the presence of adequate volunteers to help patients and the readiness of the administrative staff to support the growth of patients cared/treated.

1. We endeavor to treat 600 patients by 2013 where each surgeon can operate 150 per surgeon.
2. Increase in the Ancillary Services by:
a. Having a volunteer dentist and orthodontist daily
b. Having Speech Pathologists daily
3. To establish Well baby programs for malnourished/sick children
4. To have more personne & bigger facilities for the Administrative unit the foundation

Growth for one to two years: NCFPI Operating 2 craniofacial centers
Growth for three to five years: Expanding advocacy in the Philippines through linkages with new volunteers and expansion for additional 2 centers in Luzon.

Disability, facing 1/7 of the world’s population is an important development issue with an increasing body of evidence showing that persons with disabilities experience worse socioeconomic outcomes and poverty than persons without disabilities. With these ever-increasing volumes, access to care is limited and the quality of care resources are archaic. The most commonly reported tools used by clinicians are hand-written notes and sketches to communicate ‘accurate’ instructions to the patients and caregivers. In order to increase access to care and improve communication between patients and clinicians, there is a need for tools which provide access to quality content in an engaging and meaningful way.

In line with world community-based rehabilitation guidelines, our suite of mobile applications, the first being StrokeLink, are designed to empower patients facing disability and their family members throughout their care journey by providing them with access to information and tools to help them regain their independence. With StrokeLink, in addition to providing a digital library of information relating to stroke, the app works with patients to set goals, provide access to therapy programs and monitor their progress over time. Using StrokeLink Capture, a specialized tool that allows clinicians to build custom therapy programs with ease, patients leave the hospital with highly personalized therapy programs communicated effectively to them and those helping them with therapy.

Our vision is to improve access to rehabilitative care and reduce global disability. Our objectives are to improve patient outcomes as well as improve the utilization of healthcare resources throughout the care continuum. We are doing this by empowering patients and family members with high quality tools to effectively manage their own health while at the same time providing clinicians (therapists) with an efficient way to prescribe therapy programs.

Addressing the problem of global disability involves the development of unique and strong value propositions for each stakeholder involved:

For healthcare providers who face the challenge of providing services for a growing population of individuals facing disability, mobile apps, like StrokeLink, allow for the optimization of healthcare resources by better enabling patients and their families to take on an active role in therapy. Clinicians are better equipped to effectively and efficiently communicate and monitor therapy plans while patients benefit from an enhanced understanding of the steps needed to regain independence through engaging independently in therapy in a community based setting.

Our primary customers are individuals affected with a disability and their family members. Ultimately, in order to create positive change in rehabilitative care, it is important that we engage all key stakeholders involved which include clinicians, healthcare providers and healthcare associations in addition to patients and their families.

A channel partnership strategy will be taken to reach our customers and facilitate growth into new markets. This strategy entails partnering with the leading patient advocacy organisation representing a form of disability in a geographic region. For example this could mean the MS Society of Canada, to reach MS patients in Canada, or the Mongolian Stroke Association, to reach stroke patients in Mongolia. This partnership provides us with key suppliers of validated content and strong existing channels to reach patients. In return we provide a white-labelled mobile platform to improve access to specialized rehabilitation resources and a proportion of the revenues generated.

Software Development - Building our platform and suite of mobile applications.
Partnership Development - Creating content and distribution partnerships with national patient advocacy organizations.
Relationship Development - Marketing to Healthcare Professionals and securing endorsement from experts in each field.

Our main competitor in the market is the most commonly reported method for the prescription of rehabilitation plans: the hand drawn stick figure! There are also substitutes for our technology including the multiple web-based exercise prescription tools, but these ultimately lack the flexibility that clinicians require and are removed from the patient-clinician interaction. Both these processes reinforce a highly prescriptive environment while our tools seeks to foster a more personal and collaborative care model whereby patients are incorporated into the exercise prescription process.

The biggest challenges we are currently facing relates to geographic growth and working with hospital timelines and budgets. Entering new markets requires both strong channel strategies as well as a clear understanding of the unique regulatory environments that exist in the region. Our partnership channel strategy will help us overcome both of these by utilizing existing channels to reach patients as well as connecting us with local experts to ensure compliance with regulations.

Our clinician-users are passionate about the possibilities that our platform can create in terms of more collaborative care models, but often lack the authority to make purchase decisions. Moving forward, we plan to empower a large network of clinicians as key stakeholders in our change process.

In order to capture a larger portion of the market our partnership strategy is critical to grow both geographically and across disease states. This strategy will provide us with capital up-front, from licensing our technology, in order to facilitate additional development across technology platforms to increase global accessibility.

Our numerous pilot studies in different stages of the care continuum have provided key insights into the incentives and objectives of all our major stakeholders. We have learned what engages patients and families most, we have iterated on our technology so that it integrates seamlessly within a clinician’s workflow, and we have identified a payer whose objectives are aligned with ours.

In the next 3 years we will meet the following objectives:
1) Develop 15 jointly developed applications with partner organisations from different disease states and geographic areas.
2) Increase membership in clinician network to over 10,000 clinicians from 25 countries
3) Expand our technology to operate on the iOS smartphone and all Android devices in order to improve accessibility

Short Term (2nd & 3rd Quarter 2013)
- Release of StrokeLink 2.0 to continue to measure the usability and effectiveness of our technology
- Private testing of web based management portal
- Develop two channel partnerships to accelerate growth into new markets
- Begin engaging clinicians in the United States, Australia and the UK through social media, conferences and tradeshows

Mid Term (4th Quarter 2013 & 1st Quarter 2014)
- Launch of first two applications with partner organizations
- Establish two new channel partnerships, and continue to fill partnership pipeline
- Expansion to the iOS Smartphone
- Development of a professional certification program to identify key champions in our professional network

In Italy 20-25% of hospitalizations for acute (equivalent as expenditure in euro to 1% of the nation GDP) relates to elderly chronic patients that is inappropriate hospital admissions. As a result, no unique information point which describes all the existing services couldn’t be found. Families related with an elderly component need to know all the alternative solutions. If ill-informed they have to contact a number of structures offering a similar organization of services. The Case Manager coordinates various professionals who can offer home assistance when it appears necessary.

We try to offer support in the decision making process to all those families who contact the Foundation by offering an additional home care service for frail elderly people. Health care at low load to be achieved with no more than 8 accesses/month (nurse, occupational therapist and professional educator)
Patient transportation in the health care facilities for execution of specialist services / rehabilitation / assistance can not be executed at home
Tele-Aid for activation of requests for assistance
Counceling services to the patient's family.
GP interface and control of the therapeutic compliance in the event of relevant chronicity.

Help inhabitants of our region finding the appropriate service by enabling them stay at home in the event of health problem wherever possible.

Improving the quality of life of elderly people and offering high standard quality services accompanied by social sustainable costs.

The customers are elderly people along with their families. We offer a special support to those people who contact the Foundation to meet other needs and after the hospital stay are likely to be alone and are not fully recovered from a chronic disease. The Case Manager designs customized plans for all the elderly people requesting it.

The approaches that will be taken to reach our customers consist of contacting general practitioners, voluntary associations operating in the area and local health agencies.

Health care for disable and elderly people in nursing home and day care communities. Rehabilitation for elderly people post injury and clinic for outpatient.

In our region a wide range of services in favor of elderly people is being provided and all our peers will benefit from this information system. At the present time any other organization is offering specific home care services for elderly people.

The aim of the project is overcoming of fragmentation between competence and structures that provide services. Considering the growth of the elderly population in the area, our project will produce other initiatives to improve the quality of life of older people in their own homes.

By validating a successful model the Foundation will be able to test it in the other Centres distributed over three Italian regions: Lombardia, Piemonte and Liguria.

There is a high demand for continued assistance from families related with frail elderly people. The National Health Service has been cutting off investments and and definitely savings in hospital costs would free up resources for other services. The burden of cost for nursing home admission which currently falls on family can be postponed in time and partially prevented.

Meeting the demand of home care in favor of elderly people and their families.

This project is intended to assess the state of feasibility of this new service on about 30 patients involving two Case Managers. After a year of operation the project outcomes will be evaluated. During the second year the Foundation will be able to double the staff to manage up to 60 patients.

According to the official report China Disabled Persons’ Federation taken in 2006, there are approximately 80 million people with disabilities living in China, 38.56% of which have needs for assistive devices and services, but only 7.31% of them have received the services. Thus nearly 31% people’s needs are not satisfied, that is to say 24 million people have no access to assistive devices. This number will go higher due to the fact that many people with temporary disabilities are not registered as officially disabled. Furthermore, elder people represent another unsatisfied market for assistive devices. The number of people in China over 60 years of age is expected to increase 90% by 2020.

RELAY seeks to address visibility and availability of assistive technologies in China at the Individual, Organizational, and Community level. Through case-based consulting, community purchasing, and online community support and outreach activities we seek to stimulate the emerging market for AT in China. We connect with patient network as well as various professional groups and offer educational and training opportunities to patients and volunteers. We introduce the concept of barrier-free tourism to bring special needs to the mainstream and attract more attention from the public and corporate sectors. We create employment opportunities for people with special needs at the same time.

To improve access and increase public understanding of Assistive Technologies in China, and to make Chinese societies more inclusive. In order to do this, we focus on people and aspire to offer better services to elder people and people with special needs by promoting a human-centered approach in education, workplace, and daily life.

We want to liberate people with special needs and help them gain independence and freedom by improving access to assistive technology and barrier-free tourism. Further more, we want to gradually change the social mind, which conceives of people with special needs as different and poor, and to create employment opportunities to them, where they can transform their weakness to strength.

1. Patients need to use AT
2. Hospitals/rehab centers, and other medical centers
3. Tourism related venues where AT would be needed- scenic spots, airports, hospitals, etc
- international tourists who need assistance
4. Volunteer organizations/schools/non-profit organizations that train people to assist people with special needs (such volunteer organizations are common in Chinese universities and senior high schools)
5. Communities
6. AT manufacturers

First, we closely work with patient network, communities and hospitals. By collaborating with these groups, we can obtain sources of customers. We directly hire people with special needs, who can easier reach potential customers and understand their needs better.

We reach out to other segments by social media, sending out representatives to visit sites, organizing campaigns in tourist spots and inviting public to our creative design studio, which we will collaborate with AT manufacturers.

We advertise/market AT in a more appealing and acceptable way, sell and deliver AT products, and provide professional consulting and designing services to individuals, communities and organizations.

We promote barrier-free tourism by providing accessibility information, and persuading tourist spots to place assistive devices on sites to the tourists.
We report tourism from a human-centered perspective, which can generate ad fees and consult domestic and international travellers.

We plan outreach activities and provide workshops to patients, training sessions to institutions and STEM education specifically on AT to schools.

Some main AT manufacturers and certain medical care providers may compete with us, but we don’t operate solely on a medical model and actually we give more attention to people’s social needs, and thus we invest more in inclusive activities for people with special needs and take full advantage of communities.

There are numerous tourism agencies and websites, which target to mass market however, we focus on a niche market that attends tourists' special needs.

To improve access and increase public understanding of Assistive Technologies in China, and to make Chinese societies more inclusive will be difficult. As a participative organization which is evolving according to clients needs, we intend to adapt to such challenges in their many different forms.

We will expand our mobile offices to more regions in China and exploit patient network to grow.

We recognize the importance of social media and will make it as our growth accelerator.
Our website is a window opened to China and foreign countries, for both our clients and the companies we work with ( our suppliers producing Assistive technology products, hotels, universities)

The unsatisfied market for 24 million people, the improving medical insurance system, and the booming market for tourism, especially for international tourists.

We will change China into a more inclusive and supportive society to face the challenge of accessibility.

In the short term, we improve lives of individuals with disabilities and reduce the loss of productivity for society of if they were otherwise to remain in low-employment or unemployed. In the long-term, we hope to stimulate the emerging market for AT in China thus increasing availability and reducing costs through improving individual, organizations, and community understanding and utilization of technologies needed to improve accessibility at home, in transit, in schools, in workplace, and in recreation and travel.

Creating access to healthcare through service delivery at home. We shave money for client as we cut short hospital stay which is tedious for family members and associated care taking party and help hospitals make more money by making hospitals more active on bed occupancy reate by leveraging faster discharge and more flow of work. We create work for people who are left unemployed in healthcare service sector like nurses, doctors and physiotherapist. We also have created extra volume of work for similar professionals who are willing to work extra hours. We bring value to the employee whose work is more demanding as they cant give time to take care of their loved ones, its gives them relief and respite of social responsibilities.

We tried something completely out of box for healthcare delivery services. There has been growing healthcare services in Nepal like hospitals, tertiary care services and super speciality centers, and everything was happening in more conventional and orthodox healthcare service delivery models. So, as gap was evidently growing, we decided to create something new and serve people who were not getting service in that area where the ACCESS was missing. the creating of formal Access to mainstream healthcare staying at home has been our one of the focus. We also wanted it to be associated with mainstream healthcare so that the continuum of care is not broken ever. This fundamental concept has helped our patient to stay connected with care

Our objective is simple to create access of healthcare to people who need it at home at affordable cost. The service has to be self sustaining, replicable and scalable anywhere done. The service of healthcare is essential humanitarian service it has to be blend of social enterprise which evolves responsibly. We think this service is local now if done properly this service become global, specially for the societies or population in developing world like Asia and Africa.

We approach to individual issue independently and let the solution be totally customizable and compatible to the individual’s need of care value. As we respect the individual capacity should not be limiting factor we make program as customized possible. We have some values that we follow very closely.
1. Compassion we practice the value of compassion as the foremost value of healing.
2. Care with professional value, ethical practice, evidence based knowledge and professional skill are associated with true care value of ours.
3. Confidentiality is respecting individual’s identity and dignity and we value that most.
4. Customization of service is mandatory for the service of human as every human is different.
5. Comfort as comfort of home is unmatchable for any individual.

1. Sick people not improving with medical treatment and management at hospital for example in cancer care and palliative care.
2. chronic disease condition not necessarily requiring hospital care but require consistent medical vigilance and assistance for example in oxygen dependent people of respiratory illness, parkinsonism people with walking limitation, Dementia care and management etc.
3. People requiring multiple and frequent access to simple healthcare services like blood testing, medication management and physician visits in close intervals in weeks for example in old age related care.
4. Rehabilitation services like physiotherapy management at home.
5. Pharmacy deliveries, lab test and result delivery services,

.We have good network of our old clients who refer us to their other family members or friends.
.We have another network of good doctors who practice ethical and evidence based medicine.
.We also get walk in clients from social marketing and international base. Like Facebook and website.
.We have good relationship with good hospitals of Nepal like Norvic, OM, Medicare, Gangalal (Cardiac center), TUTH, Bir and other highly reputed and good flow hospitals.
.We have trusted office managers who ensure the link is maintained with the people who are eligible and willing to work and .we also have consistent flow of clients who maintain our work volume.
.We do marketing to that limit/extent where we can provide service. Till the record of our own existence we have not turn down any queri

#People significantly not improving with medical treatment and management or not responding to management protocol of treatment at hospital for example in cancer care and palliative care.
#chronic disease but not necessarily need hospital care but require consistent medical vigilance and assistance for example in oxygen dependent people of respiratory illness, parkinsonism people with walking limitation, Dementia care and management etc.
# People requiring multiple and frequent access to simple healthcare services like blood testing, medication management and physician visits in close intervals in weeks for example in old age related care.
# People requiring rehabilitation services like physiotherapy management and care who not necessarily need hospital stay etc.

We don't have market competition as of now in our service category. We are pioneer and have been able to create price tag according to our service design, which is considered as benchmark and revolves around the same value all the time. Where as there are group of nurses or physiotherapist who do pretend to present them self as a service provider, which have either had breakaway or had to shut down due to other reasons, which we don't get to know always.
There is none existing service provider in exact our value of integrated service provider in our market. There had been some nursing agencies and some physiotherapy services, which has evolved or inspired in our model. We don't think that is exact competitive model but they do take away some market share.

1. Personal (Non acceptance by family as a doable thing and rediculing process of quiting cardiac surgery residency to persue social enterprise and solution for service gap.)
2. Professional (Non support by senior practitioners as a service for needy one going out of hospital specially from the field of neurology, orthopedics and oncology. Humiliation of doing networking and asking for cases where as there were no one providing solution at the patients service.)
3. Financial (Non availability of fund for the start up both from personal front and banking sector)

1. Stabilize institutional development (Infrastructure, Training)
2. Marketing (Networking, Branding, MOU, Advertisements)
3. Verticals creations and spinoffs like nursing agency, physiotherapist-agency, equipment buy/sell/rent, doctor on call etc
4. IT integration for branding and e-commerce.
5. Starting training institution for home caregivers in local centre(HR development)

We have tested our product idea, solution concept design and service delivery to the level from where we can say it has worked well for the existing service gap in healthcare delivery. We have been able to make it responsible service both inside organizational value and outside in society (Award, Media and word of mouth referral). We have future plan to expand, stabilize and globalize the service.

We want to make it a concept/brand of service which is needed in every society.
No one has to think that the service of healthcare is only confined to the boundaries of hospital or individual.
The process of the service of home healthcare has to be affordable, sustainable, and suitable according to the social structure and values. Home healthcare has to be complimenting service.

Short term: We have plans to open new centers in other cities of Nepal or subcontinent.
We have been training in-house staff to run service centres independently.
We have two new independent services arm likely nursing agency and a physician service coming independently as spin off.
We are trying to sign an agreement with hospitals and healthcare organizations for referral base creation.
We are networking with independent specialist for specialist based services development.
Long term: Health at home has to be model of service for the any societies in world be it replicate or partner with our organization. health at home has to be complete institution with training modules, service mechanisms and success stories.

We are trying to help the kids who are seeking our services since the last five to six years. The kids are now in their adolescence and very soon will become adults. Our aim to help them as they grow and make them independent rather than turn them away saying that we don't have the facilities to help them. Instead we would create a set up to help them and many many more who need help and are at home and their parents are constantly thinking of what happens to them when they are no more. We wish to change this depressing picture and give a quality life to parents and their adult individuals with Autism!

We have started pre-vocational training centre for the adolescents. We also have frequent sleep overs where the kids and adolescents stay with us for one or two days. We have no vacations in our set up so that we don't break the structure the kids need.
Aim is to now have a fully efficient vocational centre for adults on Autism spectrum. Make the sleep overs happen every alternate week rather than once in three months. And gradually have the sleepovers for three-four days rather than fewer days.
We need more training on how to deal with this scenario from places where this is happening very well!

My vision is to have a respite and residential setup for adults with Autism in Mumbai which adds quality to their life. Residential set up will start after successful completion of three years of respite care
My objective is that parents of adults with Autism are stress free and not worried about their kids when they are no more.

Respite care is a set up where clients with Autism will stay with us for two days in a week and residential facility is a set up where they will stay with us and work with us forever.

To begin with the respite care centre for 10 clients four times in a month -each time for two days.

Individuals with Autism who are from 15 years and beyond.

We have been working with Autism for last 12 years and families of kids with Autism know us. We also have a website and a Facebook page by which we reach to our clients and update them. We also attend conferences and workshops on regular basis and meet with professionals in our field and update them with happenings at our center.

We mainly provide 4 services. One in which kids comes to us for individual therapy once, twice or thrice depending on their requirement. In the second form of service, kids come to us everyday for two hours and three and half hours. In the third form of service, kids come in a group once in a week for development of social skills. In the fourth form of service we provide training and education to parents and professionals.

Many child development centers and early intervention centers are our peers and competitors. None of the child development centers or centers who deal with Autism have the concept of sleepovers, respite care and residential setup for adults with Autism. Everyone is trying to work out this model and most others are not very keen to work with adults since handling them is difficult.

The main challenge that we are currently facing is lack of space - we are operating out of a rented premise and thus we have to shift every time the lease expires.
We have approached corporates, rotary clubs, hospitals and other charitable organizations who have their own space and trying to work out opportunities to get space on long term lease of 25 to 50 years.

In the beginning when we start off the project there would be 10 individuals with Autism in respite care. After every three months one new client will be added to the respite care.

There are ten lakhs people with Autism spectrum in Mumbai. Out of these, around two to three lakhs are adults. Most of them and their families are waiting for a setup that we are proposing and it is the need of the hour not just in Mumbai but India at large.

My key growth objectives are to be able to provide a model of service to adults with Autism where they live with respect and dignity and get value added to their life. They will be engaged in activities that provides them an opportunity to sustain themselves. Another major objective is to relieve the stress on the part of their parents as to what will happen to their kids when they are no more.

My short term goals are to be able to provide this service model to 10 individuals with Autism in the respite care. Gradually have the service extended to 18 in the respite set up by the end of one year. In the second year and third,we will continue with the same number of individuals. We will shift the individuals from respite to residential care in the beginning of the fourth year.

we need to look at core causes and transform them into solutions. Our medical world loves pills that do nothing but ignore causes - ignored causes grow affecting us all

how we perceive reality is causing social problems. We can all admit we live in systems and all systems are dysfunctional. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. What's different is actually recognizing flaws and introduce solutions. to see something wrong is to know what is right - so we do have all answers if we can make a complaint. We will never introduce social change if we don't fix all flaws in the systems we live in. Working within flawed systems to cause change is doing the same thing we've done since time began - it doesn't work.

I am at the stage of producing video on all the research I've done. it would have more impact if done professionally with amazing graphics and special effects.

How can you put a value on social change? I can say this solution would generate enough funds to unfold all Global changes needed. This not only provides new information but new information can generate funding for new ideas -

anyone who is dying, suffering from illness, aging or wanting to find solutions to any problems experienced

because this concept involves some deep, complex sciences, it requires an educational film. anything short of this would bring misunderstanding and miss beliefs as to it's potential. the claims are to big for most to believe

developing animation using zero funds- using what I have to make things grow

I have no competitors as this is something completely new

since this information unfolds solutions, all challenges offer more solutions. I have no obstacles other then the belief in myself

once I have uploaded a completed video, I've achieved my personal success. From there I examine how others relate and make improvements based on that. If I can't explain it, then I work on my personal communication skills

being at the very bottom provides nothing but growth. The more society recognizes social problems the more motivated people will be in learning new ways. If everything is wrong, that provides opportunity for everything that is right.

to produce video's that make people question and think about possibilities.

produce video, examine perceptions and constantly making improvements until it's well understood.

Usamos a rede social para divulgar (com consentimento dos clientes) vídeos mostrando nosso trabalho diário e os resultados, parcerias com médicos e centro de reabilitação Lucy Montoro e AACD, universidades e profissionais da área. Participação em simpósios e feiras para o público em geral (médicos, fisioterapeutas, educadores físicos e futuros clientes). Porém nosso trabalho já foi bastante divulgado pela mídia espontânea, o que nos auxiliou muito e principalmente vemos como a divulgação boca a boca dos nossos próprios clientes faz nosso trabalho ser reconhecido e procurado.

Tratamento aplicado com o método Dardzinski que é um programa multimodal baseado em atividades intensivas que estimulam o Sistema Nervoso Central e o corpo de forma global visando o processo de recuperação da lesão medular. O objetivo principal do método é estimular o Sistema Nervoso Central em disfunção, reativá-lo e reorganizá-lo através de atividades repetitivas abaixo da lesão e posturas que diferem da posição mantida na cadeira de rodas.e exercícios físico intensivo para lesionados medulares.

Não temos concorrentes. Hoje no Brasil existe apenas centros de reabilitação, que na verdade são extremamente necessários antes dos clientes chegarem até nós. Pois nosso objetivo é que o cliente venha ciente de sua situação, dos cuidados que ela exige, readaptado e aí começamos o nosso trabalho focado na recuperação do que foi lesionado.

Por sermos novos e pioneiros no trabalho que fazemos, não estamos tão inseridos na comunidade médica, o que dificulta profissionais e futuros clientes saberem da nossa existência e dessa nova possibilidade para a recuperação da lesão medular. Precisaríamos de mais apoio e/ou patrocínio que nos auxiliasse na burocracia de importar equipamentos modernos, apoio financeiro nos projetos científicos, e que em algum momento tornasse esse tratamento acessível para todas as pessoas, independente de condição financeira. Apoio numa estrutura de alojamento para esses clientes, já que a procura por lesionados de todo o Brasil é muito grande, e a estadia é sempre um problema para eles. Já tivemos inclusive clientes do Peru e Japão.

Para sermos referência precisamos de apoio e/ou patrocínio financeiro que nos ajudará a: publicar artigos científicos, ficando assim inseridos na comunidade médica. Importar equipamentos de extrema importância para os resultados dos nossos clientes. Clientes de baixa renda terão seu tratamento financiado por empresas. Teremos estrutura total para alojamento de clientes de fora de São Paulo.

Estamos prontos! Só precisamos nos organizar internamente para a demanda que vem crescendo dia após dia em nosso espaço e buscar investimentos para novos equipamentos e também avançar nas pesquisas cientificas mostrando as evoluções de nossos clientes, que nos ajudará a ter mais apoio da comunidade médica.

Diferencial do trabalho, foco na recuperação do clientes, equipe motivada, organização interna, equipamentos diferenciados e específicos, divulgação e fazer a diferença na vida dos nossos clientes com um trabalho sério, mas ao mesmo tempo leve e descontraído para tornar essa jornada mais motivadora.

Até o final desse ano estamos mudando para um novo espaço físico, vamos desenvolver e adaptar novos equipamentos, enquanto não conseguimos importar equipamentos específicos e modernos que não existem no nosso País. Vamos nos organizar melhor internamente com ajuda de um software que mantém nossa troca de informações mais rápida e precisa, assim melhoraremos o controle evolutivo de nossos clientes, tornando mais fácil a publicação do nosso artigo científico.

Buscar e enviar profissionais para outros centros específicos ao redor do mundo.
