Sangeeta Jain is the mother of a 21-year-old young man with autism, Suvrat. Her older daughter Shreya was featured in episode 6 of this podcast, where she talked about growing up with a sibling on the spectrum. Sangeeta is also the principal at SOREM, a school for children with disabilities in Chandigarh, India. 

The Global Autism Project partnered with SOREM in 2010. We have since sent close to 30 SkillCorps volunteer teams to provide hands-on sustainable training to their teachers and staff. 

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • The level of understanding of autism in India and the lack of standardization in the services available there
  • What Sangeeta envisions for Suvrat's future
  • The relationship between her two children
  • How SOREM has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic
  • What Sangeeta has learned about leadership over the years
  • A special anecdote from when a particular SkillCorps volunteer team visited India
  • For more information about SOREM, please visit their website http://soremspecialchildren.org and follow them on Instagram @soremcare36
