May 18, 2024 • The Special Needs Children Podcast - with Chitra Iyer

In this exclusive ‘Expert Speaks Series’, Chitra will be in conversation with various experts who closely work with Special Needs Children and their families. These experts could be doctors, therapists, legal professionals, vocational trainers or even family members who have successfully secured the future for a loved one. The aim is to bring their knowledge and vast experience to you so that you can find the solutions and guidance you need to live a happier life. In this episode, our CEO, Chitra Iyer, is joined by Mr. Aalap Deboor and Ms. Aditi Gangrade, an Autistic couple, self-advocates, co-founders of Much Much Media and filmmakers based out of India.

They talk about their very late self diagnosis, its impact and how they found their purpose to help many others by establishing Much Much Spectrum, focusing on neurodiversity, disability and health.

For some of you who might not know, Chitra Iyer, is a Special Needs Parent herself and a Trustee with Forum for Autism. Her 25 year old son, Shravan, has Autism, Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy. Professionally, she is a Financial Coach and the CEO of MFA, a 18-year-old organization that specializes in Goal-based Investing and has been supporting the cause of Autism for more than a decade now. She has been helping hundreds of families with her guidance, talks, webinars etc.

We would like to emphasize here that 'Special Needs' covers any kind of intellectual or physical challenge/disability and not just Autism. The challenges faced and future planning required for it, are quite similar.

Do listen and share it with all the Special Needs Families and other groups you know.
