The Expert Speaks Series- Part 22- Chitra Iyer in conversation with Ms. Anjali Dada (Hindi Edition) - a podcast by MFA

In this exclusive ‘Expert Speaks Series’, Chitra will be in conversation with various experts who closely work with Special Needs Children and their families. These experts could be doctors, therapists, legal professionals, vocational trainers or even family members who have successfully secured the future for a loved one. The aim is to bring their knowledge and vast experience to you so that you can find the solutions and guidance you need to live a happier life.

In this episode, Chitra is talking to Ms. Anjali Dada, Founder and President of SOCH – ‘the first of its kind’ NGO in Punjab, in 2008. She is a special educator with specialization in Autism Spectrum Disorders, giving regular and consistent support to parents by creating various programs like Mother-Child training program and Vocational training and has guided 500+ families from across India and the world.

Listen to her in conversation with Chitra Iyer, where she shares her thoughts on:

1. Her journey with her son Dhananjay (DJ) who has autism and the steps she has taken to ensure he is taken care of financially and otherwise 

2. How she decided to set up Soch Trust and what all it does

3. The importance of keeping your close family members involved and informed in the personal finance decisions you make for your child

For some of you who might not know, Chitra Iyer, is a Special Needs Parent herself and a Trustee with Forum for Autism. Her 23 year old son, Shravan, has Autism, Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy. Professionally, she is a Financial Coach and the CEO of MFA, a 17-year-old organization that specializes in Goal-based Investing and has been supporting the cause of Autism for more than a decade now. She has been helping hundreds of families with her guidance, talks, webinars etc.

We would like to emphasize here that 'Special Needs' covers any kind of intellectual or physical challenge/disability and not just Autism. The challenges faced and future planning required for it, are quite similar.

Do listen and share it with all the Special Needs Families and other groups you know.
