In a world, where most of us fail to accept and appreciate the life we live, the things we possess, Hasitha Illa, who suffers from a neurological condition Friedreich’s Ataxia, has not only embraced her disability, but she, along with child development expert and parenting coach, Saakshi Singla, have gone over and beyond to create a safe, more equitable, and inclusive space for people with disabilities.
Saakshi, who is a child and family coach and gender neutral parenting advocate, has teamed with Hasitha Illa and authored a beautiful picture book 'Wheeling Away', that aims to help kids learn about and understand disability, accessibility and inclusivity.
