An Interns Training & Development program on “UNDERSTANDING AUTISM AND ITS INTERVENTIONS” was led by our Founder & Executive Director Ms. Sumana Dutta. Students from diverse academic backgrounds from within and outside Bangalore including MSW, MSc Clinical & Counselling Psychology, and Bachelor’s in Physiotherapy.
Our interns from Kristu Jayanti University, Columbia Group of Institutes, and Marian College, Kuttikanam engaged in thoughtful discussions that deepened their understanding of autism, evidence-based interventions, and the real-life nuances of working within neurodiverse communities.
More than a knowledge-sharing program, this initiative strengthened practical insight, professional sensitivity, and interdisciplinary collaboration among emerging practitioners. By bridging academic learning with field realities, it contributed meaningfully to building a more informed, empathetic, and inclusion-driven workforce.
This reflects Akshadhaa’s continued commitment to capacity building and shaping future professionals who can create lasting impact in the field of neurodevelopment and mental health.
