Swathi is a sweet, seven-year-old child with special needs at Vathsalya Charitable Trust. She loves to be around people always and offers a gentle hug to strangers as well. Swathi was born with a mental challenge including autism. When she was younger, her parents would tie her to a bedpost and go away to work. The trauma of being tied up has resulted in a physical defence mechanism - she constantly pushes and pulls people - a manner reminiscent of her pushing and pulling the ropes. Her speech impairment is another factor that Vathsalya has been trying to resolve. A speech therapist comes in every week to interact with Swathi. Therapy will hopefully help her to understand and reciprocate to the environment around her. Vathsalya hopes that this environment of positivity around her will bring in the much needed cheer and change she needs.
