Empowering Families: A Meaningful Parents’ Meeting and Autism Awareness Seminar at DEC Anbalaya on 13.02.2026

On February 13, 2026, the Anbalaya Special School in Thiruvottiyur hosted a deeply impactful parents’ meeting and Autism awareness session titled "Every Child is Unique." The event brought together a dedicated community of parents and educators, all focused on a singular mission: understanding autism and recognizing the behavioral patterns that shape a child's development. We believe that "small signs matter," and providing a platform for parents to learn how to support their child's specific journey is essential for long-term growth and inclusion.

​We were honored to have Dr. Vimal Doshi Veerappan (MBBS, MD Psychiatry) from the Centre of Excellence for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Tamil Nadu, as our chief guest and keynote speaker.

Dr. Veerappan provided invaluable professional insights into the nuances of behavioral patterns, offering practical advice on prevention, coping skills, and the importance of positive reinforcement. Seeing the room filled with engaged parents underscores the strength of our community at DEC Anbalaya. Together, we are committed to ensuring that every child is understood, supported, and celebrated for their unique potential.

​Key Highlights from the Session:

​Expert Guidance: In-depth discussion on recognizing early signs of autism.

​Behavioral Support: Strategies for managing triggers and improving communication skills.

​Community Support: A space for parents to connect and share their experiences
