Vidya Sagar is a 30 year old organisation that works with people with multiple disabilities. Vidya Sagar is known for our unique approach while working with people with autism. We look at intervention through the lens of “Multiple Intelligences” (a theory propounded by Howard Gardner).
World Autism Day falls on April 2nd and at Vidya Sagar, Vidya Sagar planned to celebrate this day in a simple but unique manner. This year, Ms Kavya Verghese, who has recently won a world record for making the longest “puttu” in the world. (Ref: food.manoramaonline.com/…/worlds-longest-puttu). Puttu is an authentic Kerala breakfast dish of powdered rice, layered with grated coconut and then steamed.
A GFCF (Gluten Free, Casein Free) diet is one that is strongly recommended for a person with Autism. Puttu is one of the dishes that is considered as absolutely healthy and an ideal complete meal for any person, and especially for a person with Autism.
On April 2nd, Vidya Sagar children with Autism and staff will be joining Ms Kavya in mixing, filling, steaming, cooking and tasting Puttu. This event will be held at the premises of Vidya Sagar from 9:30am.
Apart from this, Vidya Sagar also will be conducting an in house sharing session about Autism – the challenges and the joys! And of course our building will be decorated in blue.
