Building Bridges of Empathy Together With APF
At Anupam Prayaas Foundation, we work towards creating a more inclusive world by helping children understand neurodiversity through stories, conversations, and shared experiences. We not only share stories of neurodiversity – we also create platforms for neurodivergent individuals to share their own voices.
We collaborate with schools, NGOs, and partners who believe that empathy and awareness should begin early.

Talking Fingers Magazine – Amplifying Neurodivergent AAC Voices
Talking Fingers Magazine is a unique initiative by Anupam Prayaas Foundation that provides a platform for neurodivergent individuals, especially non-speaking and minimally speaking autistic individuals, to express themselves through writing and art.
The magazine features writing submissions by AAC users and art contributions by neurodivergent individuals across India. It focuses on sharing real, lived experiences and perspectives.
Why it matters for partners
For schools and NGOs, it helps children connect with real voices and build deeper empathy.
For CSR and institutional partners, it supports meaningful representation and creates space for voices that are often unheard.
Collaboration opportunities
Sharing the magazine with students and communities.
Encouraging engagement with inclusive art and stories.
Supporting future editions and outreach.
Integrating lived experiences into inclusion programs.
How We Work
Our approach is simple and focused.
We begin with stories that help children connect with different ways of thinking, feeling, and communicating through books, audio, and animation.
These stories open up conversations that encourage children to reflect, ask questions, and understand differences.
Over time, this leads to more empathetic behaviour and more inclusive interactions in classrooms and communities.
