Story of Change
Ahmed Khan* is an intellectually disabled person with a 75% disability and an IQ of 42. When Ahmed's family approached the Krishna Trust for assistance, he was rightly counselled, admitted and put in touch with a special educator.
The impact of AMBA certified training provided by Krishna Trust improved Ahmed’s concentration, and he began to assist his friends in arranging laptops and coordinating with them. His parents expressed their gratitude to AMBA and LTIMindtree Foundation for their support.
Krishna Trust has implemented the AMBA curriculum, providing regular training with adequate infrastructure and equipment, particularly in the area of computer training. Ahmed now interacts with other students through nonverbal communication methods. This success story highlights the impact of nonprofit organizations like Krishna Trust on the lives of intellectually disabled individuals, helping them to lead fulfilling lives and make meaningful contributions to society.
