2015, for the first time, HCI started sending Canadian volunteers \\u00a0OTs, PTs and SLPs \\u00a0to India, along with Canadian OT, PTand SLP students and on their own as volunteer therapists. From 2015 to 2022, a total of 62 \\u00a0OTs, \\u00a0PTs and SLPs, from Canada, USA and Australia, have volunteered at ASSA. They have provided mentorship and supervision to the Canadian OT, PT students and to the OTs, special educators, SLP, PTs and other service proviers at ASSA. In addition, they have provided direct client interventions and support. This has been done with keeping sustainability in mind \\u2013 i.e. trying to exchange knowledge with staff at ASSA on their interventions, so that it can continue on, even after their departure. In addition, it has been an enriching and learning \\u00a0experience for the Canadian volunteers.<\\/p><p>With the 10 Canadian university affiliations, we expect to have students from Jan \\u2013 Dec in any given year.<\\/p><p>The role of the Canadian OT, PT, SLP will be to supervise OT, PT, SLP students and provide bedside mentorship and providing advanced skills or information to the PTs, OT, Speech trainers, special educators and interventionists working at ASSA, with the goal of improving the care and treatment they provide. They may also be asked to conduct or support students in conducting seminars \\/ workshops for the PTs, OT, speech trainers and special educators. Direct client care will also take place and we hope to ensure a smooth transition of client care issues between incoming and outgoing Canadian OTs, PTs, Speech trainers so that service continuity is present.<\\/p><p>Direct client care will be a greater focus when Canadian PTs, OTs, SLPs are at ASSA without Canadian students. That being said, a large focus is still on mentorship and teaching for both ASSA staff and Canadian students, so that the work done makes a sustainable difference over the long term. The area of focus can be tailored towards the Canadian therapist experience \\/ interest.<\\/p><p>As client care is always performed alongside a licensed rehabilitation or health professional in India, Canadian OTs, PTs and SLPs are not required to register with the licensing body in India.<\\/p><p>In addition to Canadian rehab professionals, we have also had volunteers from USA, Australia, UK and Italy and welcome other international volunteers,<\\/p><p>There are 40 PTs, 3 OTs, 1 SLP, 4 speech trainers \\u00a0and 170 Community Rehab workers at ASSA.

alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"1024\\\" height=\\\"683\\\" \\/>\\n\\nHello Everyone,\\n\\nNCCO Rehabilitation services is excited to be partnering with HANDI-CARE International and Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA) to make a difference with the populations we serve. NCCO is a team of experienced Occupational Therapists and Rehabilitation Assistants who provide rehabilitation services to those with physical, cognitive, and psycho-emotional limitations. Our services occur in the client\\u2019s home, typically located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). While we provide services to a wide range of clients, we have strong experience in supporting those with a traumatic brain injury, and in the completion of community assessments.\\n\\nWe have decided to partner with ASSA, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the rehabilitation, education, and empowerment of people with disabilities located in rural southern India. Our goal is to build a long-term sustainable relationship in which we can both benefit from knowledge translation and resource sharing to better serve our clients.\\n\\nTo achieve this, NCCO plans to send team members for 4-6 week recurring learning opportunities at ASSA. In addition, Toronto-based team members may participate in weekly virtual learning opportunities and participate in development of resources. During our partnership, NCCO is hoping to share its knowledge on traumatic brain injury assessment and treatment through the development of resource manuals and implementation, through knowledge translation, of clinical assessment and treatment skills. NCCO also hopes to engage in knowledge translation with the therapists of ASSA on environmental assessment including differences and similarities between the GTA and rural India.\\n\\nHANDI-CARE International is a registered Canadian charity, that facilitates these learning opportunities and funds programs at ASSA to fulfill their goal of serving the needs of people with disabilities in rural India.\\n\\nWe want to raise funds to help support the current programming at ASSA, including the purchasing of local materials and supplies for treatment. Some of these items are very reasonably priced in India, compared to prices for similar items in Canada.

While we provide services to a wide range of clients, we have strong experience in supporting those with a traumatic brain injury, and in the completion of community assessments.\\n\\nWe have decided to partner with ASSA, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the rehabilitation, education, and empowerment of people with disabilities located in rural southern India. Our goal is to build a long-term sustainable relationship in which we can both benefit from knowledge translation and resource sharing to better serve our clients.\\n\\nTo achieve this, NCCO plans to send team members for 4-6 week recurring learning opportunities at ASSA. In addition, Toronto-based team members may participate in weekly virtual learning opportunities and participate in development of resources. During our partnership, NCCO is hoping to share its knowledge on traumatic brain injury assessment and treatment through the development of resource manuals and implementation, through knowledge translation, of clinical assessment and treatment skills. NCCO also hopes to engage in knowledge translation with the therapists of ASSA on environmental assessment including differences and similarities between the GTA and rural India.\\n\\nHANDI-CARE International is a registered Canadian charity, that facilitates these learning opportunities and funds programs at ASSA to fulfill their goal of serving the needs of people with disabilities in rural India.\\n\\nWe want to raise funds to help support the current programming at ASSA, including the purchasing of local materials and supplies for treatment.

NCCO is a team of experienced Occupational Therapists and Rehabilitation Assistants who provide rehabilitation services to those with physical, cognitive, and psycho-emotional limitations. Our services occur in the client\\u2019s home, typically located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). While we provide services to a wide range of clients, we have strong experience in supporting those with a traumatic brain injury, and in the completion of community assessments.<\\/p><p>We have decided to partner with ASSA, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the rehabilitation, education, and empowerment of people with disabilities located in rural southern India. Our goal is to build a long-term sustainable relationship in which we can both benefit from knowledge translation and resource sharing to better serve our clients.<\\/p><p>To achieve this, NCCO plans to send team members for 4-6 week recurring learning opportunities at ASSA. In addition, Toronto-based team members may participate in weekly virtual learning opportunities and participate in development of resources. During our partnership, NCCO is hoping to share its knowledge on traumatic brain injury assessment and treatment through the development of resource manuals and implementation, through knowledge translation, of clinical assessment and treatment skills. NCCO also hopes to engage in knowledge translation with the therapists of ASSA on environmental assessment including differences and similarities between the GTA and rural India.<\\/p><p>HANDI-CARE International is a registered Canadian charity, that facilitates these learning opportunities and funds programs at ASSA to fulfill their goal of serving the needs of people with disabilities in rural India.<\\/p><p>We want to raise funds to help support the current programming at ASSA, including the purchasing of local materials and supplies for treatment. Some of these items are very reasonably priced in India, compared to prices for similar items in Canada. For example, a custom-fitted wheelchair in India costs merely $500, while such a wheelchair costs over $4000 in Canada. So, every dollar you donate will go a long way.<\\/p><p>Funds will also be used to help reduce the cost of travel for our volunteer providers, to remove barriers to participation. Of all funds donated 60% will be given directly to ASSA and 40% will be used to remove travel barriers.<\\/p><p>For more information about NCCO, please see: <a

I met people with post-polio syndrome, significantly contracted extremities, stage IV pressure ulcers, club foot and suffering from long-term effects of tuberculosis. I didn\\u2019t know how much this learning would be helpful to me until I took a position as a Baffin Region Occupational Therapist stationed in Iqaluit, Nunavut where I again saw each of these conditions and situations. Another way this experience provided by Handi-Care Intl. helped me with my work in Nunavut, is learning how different cultures approach disability, and an introduction to what it is like to live with a disability in areas of extreme poverty. Handi-Care Intl. and Amar Seva Sangam provided me with so much more relevant experience that I needed in Nunavut than did the rest of my occupational therapy education, which was executed in an urban Canadian setting.\\u201d<\\/p>\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false}]'),(78547,10469,'_elementor_page_assets','a:0:{}'),(78549,10470,'_elementor_edit_mode','builder'),(78550,10470,'_elementor_template_type','wp-page'),(78551,10470,'_elementor_version','3.9.2'),(78552,10470,'_wp_page_template','default'),(78553,10470,'_elementor_page_settings','a:1:{s:18:\"eael_ext_toc_title\";s:17:\"Table of Contents\";}'),(78554,10470,'_elementor_data','[{\"id\":\"468c2a3\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"e716e30\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"6312ad5\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Professional Volunteer Testimonials\",\"align\":\"center\",\"title_color\":\"#1136EE\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_family\":\"Poppins\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":40,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_size_tablet\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":45,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_size_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":28,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_weight\":\"600\",\"typography_text_transform\":\"none\",\"typography_font_style\":\"normal\",\"typography_text_decoration\":\"none\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":1.1999999999999999555910790149937383830547332763671875,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_line_height_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":1.100000000000000088817841970012523233890533447265625,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_letter_spacing\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":0,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_word_spacing\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":0,\"sizes\":[]}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"cb0941e\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":{\"background_background\":\"classic\",\"background_color\":\"#F4F7FFD4\",\"border_border\":\"groove\",\"border_width\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"5\",\"right\":\"5\",\"bottom\":\"5\",\"left\":\"5\",\"isLinked\":true},\"padding\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"15\",\"right\":\"15\",\"bottom\":\"15\",\"left\":\"15\",\"isLinked\":true}},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"7d2af46\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"97290f3\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Jerid Stevenot\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_family\":\"Poppins\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":25,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_size_tablet\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":45,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_size_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":28,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_weight\":\"600\",\"typography_text_transform\":\"none\",\"typography_font_style\":\"normal\",\"typography_text_decoration\":\"none\",\"typography_line_height\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":1.1999999999999999555910790149937383830547332763671875,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_line_height_mobile\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":1.100000000000000088817841970012523233890533447265625,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_letter_spacing\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":0,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_word_spacing\":{\"unit\":\"em\",\"size\":0,\"sizes\":[]}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"1b23441\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"<p>the students and I to work in a culturally reflexive way.

Ram, the head physiotherapist, worked efficiently and tirelessly to create a smooth transition of working at ASSA, as well as planning weekend trips for our group to sightsee and explore more of South India. Additionally, the guesthouse is a great space for therapists and students to reside in, as it has both the essentials as well as luxuries such as AC and wifi.

There is also a sense of camaraderie here between clients that is touching to witness and be a part of. These young and older men have experienced a traumatic event that has forever altered the course of their lives, however instead of wallowing they are trying to not only work on their own personal recovery, but cheering each other along by celebrating the small successes! To them every gain is worth acknowledging. Even more, when seeing their friends struggle due to a physical limitation, they are always there to help in any way they can can despite their shortcomings.

I\\u2019ve been moved to tears numerous times at the sense of ownership both staff and clients take in helping one another. There is also a sense of camaraderie here between clients that is touching to witness and be a part of. These young and older men have experienced a traumatic event that has forever altered the course of their lives, however instead of wallowing they are trying to not only work on their own personal recovery, but cheering each other along by celebrating the small successes! To them every gain is worth acknowledging. Even more, when seeing their friends struggle due to a physical limitation, they are always there to help in any way they can can despite their shortcomings. On the unit, one man\\u2019s strengths can compensate for another man\\u2019s weaknesses and make all the difference!
