144. Non-Speaking Is Not Non-Communicating - Vaish and Sid Sarathy

If We Knew Then - Down Syndrome Podcast

Today we are joined by Vaish and Sid Sarathy. Dr. Vaish Sarathy is a functional nutrition practitioner and science educator. She is the founder of Functional Nutrition for Kids and Plum Pudding Chemistry, both practices designed to optimize the learning potential of kids with Down syndrome and/or autism using both functional medicine and non-linear education principles. Sid, who has the diagnoses of autism, Down syndrome, and non-speaking, is, among other things, a poet with two published books of poetry.

In this episode, we discuss their journey with communication, breaking down barriers of misperception and limiting thoughts to support Sid in freeing his voice and the responsibility that freedom brings with it.
