As India advances in sectors like IT and healthcare, it’s vital not to overlook the mental development of our children. With 1 in 8 kids aged 2–9 affected by neurodevelopmental disorders like Autism and ADHD (INCLEN survey), the need for awareness and action is urgent.
Misinformation from unqualified individuals only worsens the situation. That’s why Hi9’s National Autism Awareness initiative is so timely bringing together Pediatric neurologists, Psychologists, and Therapists to educate parents, teachers, and caregivers.
This event aims not just to identify the problem, but to build a supportive ecosystem, offer effective solutions, and work toward reducing these disorders by 2030. It’s a vital step in ensuring a healthier, mentally balanced future for India’s children.
