Padma Ramani, a postgraduate in Chemistry from the University of Delhi, served as a bank officer for 10 years. Her husband’s posting to Muscat Oman brought her in touch with neurodiverse children at a centre at her son’s school in Muscat. That was in 1996. She has always been associated with special schools wherever they lived, since then. She did her BEd Spl education in 2002-2003. Padma feels blessed to have found a purpose in her life. She has had experience working with multiple disabilities including autism, Down’s syndrome, microcephaly, Cerebral palsy and the visually impaired. She has worked in schools in Vadodara, Kanpur, Mumbai, and Pune. Her broad exposure has provided her with a diverse range of experience. She stays in touch with all her students and their families.
She is also involved with her friends in
organising adventure camp for children with special needs, which has been a
great learning experience. She does online story telling for Club Youngistan and
Amaze Charitable Trust. In this #nurturingskills series she talks about story
telling. It being an integral part of Indian culture, it is seen as a source of
entertainment and education.
