If you’re a parent with a child with special needs, you must have experienced at least one of these things at some point in your life: travel long distance to get therapy services, missing critical work days to be present for their therapy sessions, paying a hefty conveyance fee, constantly purchasing therapy materials, the gap between sessions diminishing the progress made during sessions, and so on.
It’s hard, right? Even if you want to give the best therapy services to your loved ones, the system doesn’t let you do that with ease.
This was felt the most during the pandemic. Between the chaos and the confusion, no one paid attention to the 2.68 crore individuals (2.21% of Indian population as per Census 2011) who have some or the other form of disability and no means to support or advocate for themselves.
Walnut Early Supports was born out of need during this time.
We wanted to bridge the gap that has been existing and ignored for years. We wanted therapy materials to be as easily accessible to you as it is to get anything else in the world today, with one click.
Our engaging and evidence-based digital resources made by certified Speech Language Pathologists are not meant to replace therapy, but to aid the progress made in those sessions, and practice repeatedly with intensity and consistency, which are critical for skill acquisition and mastery.
We wanted to stop making accessibility the deterrent for anyone’s progress, and we’ve been doing that since 2021.
