Dr. Vaibhav and his team are truly doing commendable work. However, they do not receive adequate resources. There is a need to increase focus and support in this area. It is extremely important to make children with disabilities capable and empowered. We all must contribute to this cause. We should understand and experience this with sensitivity.
