Founder's Note:
This journey began with a simple yet profound conversation with my colleague about the future of children with special needs. As we delved deeper, we found a significant gap in support for young adults facing multiple disabilities. This realisation ignited my passion for creating a holistic, easily accessible rehabilitation platform that empowers individuals, their families and advocates for their integration into society with dignity and abundant opportunities.
At Kikstart Rehabilitation, we are a passionate and dedicated team of rehabilitation professionals, individuals with lived experiences and change-makers on a mission to transform lives. We offer personalised intervention programs for people with In(visible) disabilities. We believe every individual deserves the opportunity to lead a fulfilling and independent life.
Our Approach
PERSONALIZED
HOLISTIC
INCLUSIVE
At Kikstart, we understand that each individual has unique strengths and challenges.
Our Surveys, discussions with many professionals, and studying lived experiences helped us to understand the lack of professional support for adults and children (and their families) with In(visible) disabilities, specifically lifeskills and mental health.
Our Mission
To build Indiaâs largest Inclusive Online Platform to provide therapy support, training and therapeutic resources for every individual with in(visible) disabilities and their families.
Our Vision

We recognise that creating lasting change requires a collective effort. That's why we actively collaborate with NGOs, social enterprises, corporations, and individuals who share our vision. By pooling our resources, knowledge, lived experiences, and networks, we amplify our impact and extend our reach to those who need it most.
Join us at Kikstart Rehabilitation as we embark on this journey.
Together, we can make a difference, one life at a time.

Keval has been taking Occupational therapy lessons with Anjana Iyer at Kikstart since October 2021. Our experience so far has been well. We have seen tremendous improvement in a lot of areas for Keval. He has started gaining self-confidence and has become a bit more self-reliant. He has started going to work more frequently, something that he was struggling with before starting the therapy sessions.
AK usually used to describe any picture by just naming the things into it, but now she tries describing the entire picture in sentences and when probed further, also tries to state the reactions/reasoning to what is happening in the picture. Also, she has become more vocal about her thoughts in her mind. Online sessions help them think and also help us know how to work with them in a more organised way.
