Fr. Paul Zahler, the founder director of OBIMR and NIDD, has successfully formulated a therapy based on aquatic activities for children with developmental delays. This revolutionary program for children with physical and mental challenges displayed dramatic results and was instrumental in developing a full-fledged child development center. This program played a vital role by providing an opportunity for children, that in many cases could not be in program due to their severe developmental delays. This program has become a last resort for many children with challenging mental and physical conditions.

Fr. Paul introduced this water therapy-based games to the children with multiple delays even before 30 years and it has proved an effective tool for development. It was also introduced in developing countries like India two decades ago.
