BrainBristle, after Devangana’s sixteen years of work in autism, has been established as a Foundation, under the trusteeship of her parents, Mr Vipin Sharma, CEO, ACCESS Developmental Services and Mrs Rashmi Sharma, ex-school principal, Amity Schools. They will be overseeing the organisation's four tiered operations ranging from micro impact to macro utility.
Today, autism numbers globally range as high as 48-76 children in the United States, diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Thus, the BrainBristle Foundation will A) with Devangana's daily work, continue intervention at the school level, towards inclusion and autism. B) continue work for a few children and adolescents outside of school, for fieldwork and a bird’s eye view of school systems and their impact on children on the autism spectrum C) work at grassroots’ level by running awareness and education camps for communities, families and systems impacted by autism D) be representing their work at conferences and events globally to highlight impact and instrumentation of their collective work.
The BrainBristle Foundation’s hope is to continually plant daily seeds of success, leading to voice, advocacy and vision-setting for the larger geo-political health of our nation and beyond.
The BrainBristle Foundation and their family would like to thank you for your support in this brave new beginning and bold endeavour.
