ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Where we raise the bar on Education for children with a disability.
Educating a child with a disability isn't for the faint of heart, and if you're a parent or educator who refuses to give up on your child's potential, you're in the right place.
Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy [mom to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome], this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child's learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or arbitrary busy work.
Together we explore how to:
- Break learning barriers so your child with Autism / Down Syndrome / ADHD can learn complex Math and Science
- Make teaching and learning at home a flow state
- Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools
- Use Non Linear Education strategies to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could
Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again: in your child, and in yourself.

We don't make a neurotypical kid prove they can read before we hand them a book. We just teach them to read. But for non-speaking and minimally speaking learners, the rules flip.

Most special education systems operate on this premise: Students with disabilities must master small foundational skills before they are allowed access to academic content.
