Ep 175 | Self help skills and Autism | Why is it important to teach self help skills ? | Merry Barua

Merry Barua talks about the importance of teaching self-help skills to individuals with Autism from an early age.

Merry is the Founder Director of Action For Autism, National Centre for Autism, Activist, Trainer, and a Consultant. She began her journey championing Autism rights and understanding in India as a passionate mother. But her activism has led her to national policy. In addition to raising awareness and convincing the Indian government to include Autism in the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, her organization ‘Action for Autism’ builds systemic support and understanding for the children affected, their parents, and educators.

About me :

I am a Holistic Occupational therapist and founder of Khushi therapy center based in Mumbai- India.

I believe that the mind and body are connected and see challenges from a whole-person perspective. I combine complementary therapies and integral health techniques in my practice of Occupational therapy to help my clients at a deeper level.

I believe balance is an integral part of wellness and that alignment of body mind and spirit is the key to helping ourselves and our kids.

I work with neurodiverse kids and their families for the last 19 years.

My strength lies in blending my role as a parent and a therapist to offer the best practical strategies to support families who come to me.
If you would like to book a session with me or seek therapy at our center with our team, you may call us on 9819561468 (weekdays between 9am to 6pm)
