Description

Intellectual Disability is a disability of the mind, with delayed developments that are diverse and hinder their capacity to go through formal education at any level. Brain injury in many cases causes associated physical disabilities, fits and seizures.
An Ashoka Fellow driven Social Enterprise, our ecosystem of learning and earning is adaptive, visual and functional, appropriate to their acumen, making them contributors to family & Society. Their lack of social skills limits them from working in mainstream companies, so AMBA collaborates with Special Institutions pan India & helps them evolve into hubs for learning & earning, using their infrastructure, administration & trainers, keeping overheads to a minimum. We call them AMBA Certified Partner Centers (ACPCs).
