Episode Description

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, Chitra is talking to Ms. Indrani Basu, mother to 2 autistic kids and Founder and Director of Autism Society West Bengal (ASWB), a parent support organization based in Kolkata.

She is a trained special educator specializing in Autism. ASWB started Dikshan- a Special School for students with Autism Spectrum. Listen to her in conversation with Chitra Iyer, where she shares her thoughts on:

  1. Her journey with her sons who have Autism and how she set up ASWB
  2. The importance of accepting & accommodating people with Autism and the launch of YAAR at ASWB
  3. How important it is to keep your close family members involved and to make sure your child is taken care of financially for the rest of their life
For some of you who might not know, Chitra Iyer, is a Special Needs Parent herself and a Trustee with Forum for Autism. Her 23 year old son, Shravan, has Autism, Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy.

Professionally, she is a Financial Coach and the CEO of MFA, a 17-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.
