IAC & Ruskin Mill Trust will Enhance Neurodiversity Care and Education in India

News Desk, News Nation 360 : The India Autism Center (IAC), a pioneering non-profit dedicated to creating an inclusive, world-class ecosystem for autistic people and those with related disabilities, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ruskin Mill Trust of Nailsworth, England. The cooperation will result in stronger long-term collaboration in strengthening educational, developmental, and therapeutic access for neurodiverse people, as well as improving skills training and employability routes. India Autism Centre has signed an MoU with UK-based Ruskin Mill Trust to further cooperation in neurodiversity care, with a strong focus on global knowledge sharing and skill-building in support of autistic and other neurodivergent people. Both organisations, through this partnership, will share research, case studies, and operational frameworks to further hone educational, therapeutic, and developmental supports and enhance the quality of service. A key component of the MoU remains the co-development of specialized vocation-based training programs around life skills and workplace readiness to enhance employability and long-term independence among neurodiverse people. Joint access to data, resources, and state-of-the-art technologies, coupled with decades of experience of Ruskin Mill with Practical Skills Therapeutic Education, is expected to help IAC integrate international evidence-based methodologies into its Indian programs. Overall, the partnership is designed to build stronger structural capacities, increase the service offering, and create more human-centred, sustainable support systems for neurodivergent communities in India and beyond. Speaking on the collaboration, Jaishankar Natarajan, Chief Executive Officer and Director, India Autism Centre, stated that by collaborating with the Ruskin Mill Trust, they hope to incorporate worldwide expertise and evidence-based approaches into their activities. This cooperation will provide new opportunities for training, therapeutic tools, and developmental support to neurodiverse people and their families.
