As an advocate for neurodivergent inclusion, I co-founded Special Hangout in August 2022.
Special Hangout currently supports over 200 children and families. With 15 regular volunteers and classmates, we run biweekly sessions at Holy Name School and launched the Hangout Buddies Program, connecting 25+ neurodivergent young adults with buddies. We have conducted over 120 hangout sessions during the past two years. We also organised special events like autism seminars, art exhibitions, and an open bus ride.
We’ve placed several individuals in suitable corporate jobs. We received media recognition on Radio Mirchi and Jansatta for our work. We are also collaborating with Ummeed CDC and India Autism Center,
Special Hangout seeks volunteers to support neurodivergent children, lead biweekly sessions, and organize events. Join us to foster inclusivity and create joyful experiences!
