This has been the realization of a dream for thousands of families who don’t have access to therapy services in their areas. The ability to reach out to therapy services and connect with a fully trained multidisciplinary team from the comfort of their homes is a blessing for these families during this stressful situation and the lockdowns that followed, when priorities have changed. When many countries and organizations are struggling to find a way to support families like these during the pandemic, with the hard work of the MillenniumIT ESP Team, we were able to develop this online platform in a short period, and successfully bridge the gap between these services and the children. We are very excited and keenly looking forward to the possibilities of expanding this wonderful initiative to support families in other parts of the world.” Gopi Kitnasamy Head of Rehabilitation Services, MJF Charitable Foundation
