It all began during the swimming classes. While their children trained in the pool, the mothers bonded over a range of topics: from therapy sessions to tantrums thrown by children. That is how four mothers of children with autism came together to start Sangamitra Foundation.
The voluntary organisation (registered) has Annapoorni Ramakrishnan, Jisha Rajesh, Devaki Balaji, Grace Santosh and sports coach Satish Kumar as trustees.
The idea to do something together was conceived more than two years ago but due to the pandemic the plan did not take off.

The design team at The Indian Twist works on the spontaneous artworks by children and young adults from A Brush With Art (@abwa_chennai) and CanBridge Academy (thecanbridgeacademy), “kneading” them into its products, thereby transforming these artworks into a state of saleability. CanBridge Academy provides life skill training to young adults with autism. And ABWA promotes “expression of natural art in children with special needs”.
