Testimonial

A mother's journey with Approach Autism. Saksham growing as matured adult. Saksham's mother giving her testimony. She explains how her fear regarding Saksham is now vanished. She really enjoys the videos sent in the group and decided to collate and give her voice to the videos. She is daily more relieved than the previous day. Watching the video is now fun and at the same time sense of pride.

आज मेरे बेटे ने मुझको भी स्पेशल बना दिया| कई जगह मेरी पहचान उसके नाम से होती है| मै चाहती हुँ कि मैं उसे इस तरह निखारूँ, बनाऊ कि हर जगह मेरी पहचान उसके साथ हो
