Thanks, Arun, delighted to hear from you. Are you aware of the workshop I am doing on ICT and autism at the global conference in Bangalore, on the 19th of May? A short note is at https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1gG9vWmOYvdDKef6g72qf4dz8UiSk8J3e1znUU3hznww
It would be great if any of you can bring valuable inputs from your experience with the summer camp. Just as we are attempting to work with local artists and experts at Bangalore, we can do this in Kerala too...
