Paper planes is a small video by OSAAT (One step at a time) that shows how mainstream schools are inaccessible to children with disabilities in India.
Inaccessible education results in secluding these children right from the time when a child with a disability is seeking education.
This video is based on the true life story of Dhanya Ravi who was born with Brittle Bones disorder and was denied admissions to many schools as a child and ended up being home schooled.
Samaavesh is One step at a time’s disability awareness and advocacy program that works towards changing this and making schools more Inclusive. You can donate for this and can be a part of this noble cause.
Hema Subhash, an above knee amputee and ex-software engineer from Bangalore, India, started One Step at a Time, as a support group for people with physical disabilities in June 2010 as she saw a need to connect those with disabilities, and help them garner support and motivation from each other. In June 2016, to achieve a larger mission towards building community and empowerment of people with disabilities.
Hema along with three others, formalized One Step at a Time into a non profit organization. OSAAT’s Adapted Fitness, Art and therapy programs enable people with disabilities achieve greater well being of spirit, mind and body. In addition to this they also work towards building an inclusive and accessible society, through our advocacy and awareness programs.
