I am happy to share the recording of my case based discussion on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), organised by assimilate by medvarsity.
In India, autism awareness has been steadily increasing, but there's still a significant need for more education and understanding. Educational initiatives can play a pivotal role in enhancing awareness by targeting various stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and the general public.
In my clinical practice, so many children come for consultation after they are advised by teachers. It will be worth thinking to incorporate modules on autism awareness and inclusion into teacher training programs that will not only help in early diagnosis and interventions but knowledge and skills will also support students with autism effectively. In addition to it, seminars for parents will provide valuable insights into understanding and accepting their children's unique needs.
Leveraging digital platforms and social media can help to amplify outreach by reaching parents and teachers to resource constrains areas.
By embracing more and more such educational initiatives, India can foster a more inclusive society where individuals with autism are valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
