The use of information and communication technologies should be at the heart of any strategy to promote the social and economic inclusion of persons with disabilities. Information is the currency of today's world.

Those who control information are the most powerful people on the planet. We believe that ICTs make the resources accessible to the persons with disabilities. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have great potential for making significant improvements in the lives of persons with disabilities. It unquestionably allows them to enhance their social and economic integration in society by enlarging the scope of activities available to them. This was the idea behind developing this mobile application.

Cross the Hurdles intends to move on to the next stage with this application where they would be providing the facility of video conferencing with the experts on demand, counseling services and chat forums where they would be providing answers to the queries of persons with disabilities regarding issues related to them and many more such features like this.
