Marking ten years of
dedication as CAPAAR steps confidently into its next decade of impactJanuary 31, 2026, Bengaluru: CAPAAR Child Care Centre celebrated its 10th
anniversary with a landmark event titled “A Decade of Dedication”,
commemorating ten years of service in child development, rehabilitation, and
holistic healthcare. The occasion also served as a professional knowledge
platform, bringing together eminent physiotherapists, clinicians, and child
development specialists from across the country.
Established in 2016, CAPAAR was
founded with a vision to deliver ethical, evidence-based, and multidisciplinary
care for children facing developmental, neurological, and rehabilitation
challenges. Over the last decade, CAPAAR has expanded to two full-fledged
centres, supported by a team of over 100 trained professionals, and has
positively impacted the lives of more than 1,000 children.
The anniversary celebrations
featured expert panel discussions and academic deliberations by senior
physiotherapists and allied health professionals. Key sessions focused on
speech and language therapy, autism spectrum disorders, oro-motor rehabilitation,
pediatric physiotherapy, and psychological well-being, emphasising the
importance of early diagnosis and integrated therapeutic care.
The CAPAAR anniversary event was
conducted successfully, marking an important milestone in its journey of
service and impact. The program witnessed active participation and reflected
the organisation’s continued commitment to healthcare and community
development.
The event was graced by several
distinguished chief guests, including Dr. Ruchi Varshney (PT)—President
of the Women Cell of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAPWC),
Treasurer of IAP, Director of Advanced Ruchi Physiotherapy & Wellness
Centre, and Chairperson of the AWP Conference, a nationally recognised academic
forum promoting women leadership and excellence in physiotherapy. Her presence
highlighted the growing emphasis on structured academic platforms such as AWP
that encourage research, innovation, and professional collaboration in
physiotherapy.
A special mention to the Green
Sponsor, Grace Medicals, New Zealand, for their generous initiative in
sponsoring a child’s education, reflecting a strong commitment to social
responsibility.
The Honorable High Court of
Kerala delivered a historic verdict granting physiotherapists the right to use
the “Doctor” prefix and practice independently, a decision welcomed by the
Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP).
Other eminent guests included Dr.
Prathibha Karanth, Founder & Managing Trustee of ComDEALL Trust; and Dr. A.
Suresh Babu Reddy (PT), National Vice President of IAP.
Speakers underscored CAPAAR’s
multidisciplinary treatment model, where physiotherapists, speech therapists,
psychologists, and special educators work together to address not only clinical
symptoms but the overall cognitive, emotional, and mental well-being of
children. Several case examples illustrated how children have evolved from
early speech and motor challenges to becoming mentally fit, socially confident,
and functionally independent.
Founded and led by Dr. P. Sumitha
Hemavathy (PT), CAPAAR continues to extend its impact through initiatives such
as CAPAAR Special School and ATHMA Social Welfare Trust, reaffirming its
commitment to inclusive child care and community service as it steps into its
second decade.
