A book for parents and caregivers walking alongside a neurodivergent child - written by the founder of Kaivalyam, drawing on more than two decades of work with children, families and educators.
Every child arrives with their own rhythm, strengths and ways of meeting the world. For parents of neurodivergent children, the journey can feel unfamiliar - full of questions, decisions and moments of doubt.
In Walking the Path Your Child Brings, Lakshmi Sudhakaran shares the understanding she has gathered as a therapist, educator and mother - offering parents a compassionate companion for walking beside their child, rather than ahead of them.
