At the entrance of the Institute of Paediatric Neurodisorder and Autism (IPNA) on Level 7, Block F of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), every week, you will find a group of parents waiting for their children attending the IPNA school, their emotions balanced in between relief and concern what do you think the children will learn today? Will the teachers be able to understand how they communicate? What if they need us?
