Over the last few years, Ummeed has steadily expanded its engagements with several universities (as described below) towards increasing the exposure of pre-service and in-service professionals to care for children with and at risk of disabilities. These partnerships have taken many forms such as:
Course Development and Delivery
Based on our experience of over 20 years in supporting children with and at risk of developmental disabilities in diverse settings (such as center-based, school-focused, community-centered), Ummeed’s team is uniquely poised to offer curricula and training programs that balance theoretical concepts with practical applications and to teach these using adult learning principles. We are currently partnering with Azim Premji University (APU) for the following diploma programs:

Guest Lectures
Ummeed’s team of doctors, therapists and education professionals have been invited to conduct guest lectures for students at various reputed universities across India such as D. Y. Patil University, Manipal University, Azim Premji University, TISS Mumbai and recorded lectures for dissemination to faculty/students of Kerala University of Health Sciences
Internships and Observerships
Ummeed offers internships and observerships to students pursuing Undergraduate and Masters courses and to other professionals. Interns and observers are able to watch videos, observe consultations/therapies, have debriefings and sometimes assist with project-related work. Through these exposures, they get to observe values such as evience-based practices, strengths-based approaches, inclusion, and family-centered care in practice. The internship duration typically ranges from two weeks to a month, while observerships typically range from 2-3 days to a week.
