The Mumbai Metro One closely works with ADAPT and over the years, they have conducted various programmes in association with them including teacher Training sessions, vocational training of young adults with cerebral palsy, autism, mental retardation, multiple disabilities and learning disabilities.
 
Headed by Padma Shri Dr. Mithu Alur, the founder chairperson of NGO, the Spastic Society of India – now rechristened as ADAPT – Able Disable All People Together also works in the field of advocacy and awareness and offers support to parents and other professionals.
 
Alur has been a pioneer in the care and education of people with Neuro-Muscular and Developmental Disabilities, like cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome and mental retardation. After her daughter, Malini Chib, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, she realized that the care of people with conditions like her daughter was non-existent in India. Hence, she trained in England and started the Spastics Society of India (SSI) in 1972 and recognizing the work and Dr. Alur’s contribution towards the society, in 1989 the Government of India awarded her with the Padma Shri Award.
