There are 35 children in the classroom and the noise level during the unstructured portion of class-time (break-time, practice for school events, music, sports, drama and art class) is challenging for him. He seeks a quieter environment and a more predictable routine. Unable to express his wants but trying to communicate with them, he approaches the other children and pushes them apart. He then runs to his teacher and starts to poke and prod her, hoping she will intervene and support him. Instead, he is made to stand facing the corner. He is later taken to the principal's office and is scolded for not owning up and apologizing. He experiences confusion about what happened, but knows he is a bad boy and that no one will play with him today. He feels sad and unhappy. Rahul's story is not unique, there are over 50 million children with or at risk of disabilities in India. . Few in the general population - including many doctors, therapists, and teachers - understand conditions such as autism, learning disabilities, and language delays.
