Veena was told eleven years ago her 14-month old daughter would never walk, talk, or live beyond a vegetative state.
Today, that same girl is a joyful chatterbox and performer. Fueled by love and resilience, Veena defied the odds and now leads a network of over 300 South Asian mothers raising children with additional needs.
As an autism advocate, she shares her story to break stigma and spark hope—empowering people to embrace difference and believe in what once seemed impossible.
