Meet Simy T. A., a young woman of 27 working with special children at Vidya Sagar in Kotturpuram.
Hailing from Kerala, Simy did her schooling at Kristu Jyoti English High School and later did higher studies at M G University where she studied physiotherapy for four years.
She later did her internship for six months at S H Multi-Speciality Hospital.
“I had no idea what physiotherapy was when I started in college, but I got interested later and pursued it further,” confesses Simy.
She came down to Chennai in 2000, and has since stayed in Vidya Sagar for the past six years, where she started working with babies and then moved onto treating children with disabilities whom she wants equip so that they become independent and fit into the world better.
Simy is also a trained Western dancer. Dancing was something that came to her when she had to put up a dance show for Cancer Awareness. And so in 2002, Simy and four of her friends started ‘Studio D5’ a dance company that coaches students in styles including Modern Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Salsa.
So is her passion physiotherapy or dance?
“Physiotherapy will always remain close to my heart and so will dance!”
Ask her about her goals and she says, “ I want to travel around the globe to find a place where there are no resources so that I can help disabled children adjust to the various demands of the world."
Simy can be reached at: Vidya Sagar, No.1, Ranjith Road, Kotturpuram, Chennai-600 085. Mobile: 98407 00612
