In the latest episode of The Special Needs Children Podcast, our CEO, Chitra Iyer, is in talks with Dr. Shoba Srivastava, Managing Trustee of SOPAN, a name that resonates deeply within the special needs community.

Dr. Shoba, a parent to an adult with autism and tuberous sclerosis, has spent decades transforming questions into action, from “What next after school?” to creating meaningful pathways for adulthood through SOPAN’s vocational and respite care centres.

In this heartfelt episode, we go behind the scenes of her journey...the doubts, decisions, courage, and compassion that shaped SOPAN into a space of learning, dignity, and joy.

Tune in to hear how one mother’s love and determination grew into a movement that continues to empower countless families. 💙
