The Heart of Our Work — Through Their Eyes

Every smile, every milestone, and every moment of progress reflects the true impact of our mission. These heartfelt stories from parents, children, educators, and community members offer a glimpse into the lives we've touched — and the hope we continue to build together.
The Advanced Part-Time Virtual Fellowship in Developmental Psychiatry, awarded to me in July 2024, was a transformative experience conducted by I-CAN with esteemed support from Divis Foundation, India. Blending virtual learning with immersive in-person visits, I had the privilege of engaging with premier centers in Toronto – Surrey Place, CLTO, TRE-ADD Schools, MONARCH House, and Holland Bloorview Center – each a beacon of excellence serving individuals with autism and developmental disabilities. This rich exposure catalyzed my growth in developmental psychiatry, equipping me with cutting-edge insights to contextualize and elevate care paradigms back home, fostering a ripple effect of compassionate, informed practice.

Highlights included Kavita Kamat’s ABA lecture on debates and ethics, Ummeed’s workshop on family partnerships, ACT sessions by Tina Gandhi and Dr. Kritika Rajaraman on parental and sibling support, Jo Chopra’s call for caregiver rest, and Merry Barua’s emphasis on visual learning.
