In conversation with Dr Samir Dalwai, specialist in Developmental and Behavioural Paediatrics
How do you comfort your child when they are bullied for having special needs? Is it possible to enjoy family events and outings with a child who cannot communicate? And in following western therapeutic practices for neurodiverse children, are we truly preparing them for life in an Indian society?
In this episode, Dr Dalwai explains his approach towards child development and psychology. Having counselled thousands of neurodiverse children and their parents, he finds that in his experience it is not simply teaching a child to repeat words or actions that works but an overall tailoring of their environment and their response to it. Depressed, frustrated, angry caregivers, for starters, cannot provide the space needed for a neurodiverse child to grow and develop. Providing support for caregivers is a crucial, and oft ignored, part of therapy.
Tune in to hear all about the emotional, financial and social challenges of caring for a neurodiverse child!
