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, we have with us Dr. Vrajesh Udani, MD Consultant and a renowned Neurologist in India, specializing in Child Neurology and Epilepsy. He will be sharing insights from his 30 years of experience in the field of neurology and epilepsy with respect to Children with Special Needs.

Listen to him in conversation with Chitra Iyer, where he will answer key questions such as:

1. When should a Parent approach a pediatric neurologist for diagnosis?

2. What are the precautions that a family should take to reduce the risk of a disability occurring in their Child?

3. What is epilepsy? How is it treated and how is it managed in Children with Special Needs?

For some of you who might not know, Chitra Iyer, is a Special Needs Parent herself and a Trustee with Forum for Autism. Her 22 year old son, Shravan, has Autism, Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy. Professionally, she is a Financial Coach and the CEO of MFA, a 16-year-old organization that specializes in Goal-based Investing and has been supporting the cause of Autism for more than a decade now.

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.
