Hi Arun, It gives us great excitement to know about the workshop on ICT and autism in Bangalore on 19/May. Insight recently conducted a summer camp named 'MAGIC' for autism children. The response has been very encouraging and a second edition is scheduled to happen from 16/May to 20/May. Ice breaking session, yoga , gardening, fun and games, ICT training, music session, art work, story telling session, puppetry show, counselling session etc. were the main activities of the camp. Report document can be found here http://www.scribd.com/doc/55165214/Report
We would greatly appreciate if you could make us a part of your workshop in Bangalore. We also look forward to hosting similar workshops at Insight.
