About Brain Bristle
The State
Autism Numbers diagnosed are rising rapidly, how we respond to the diagnosis today can change our tomorrow. Our children on the autism spectrum are in our public schools, our homes, our organizations, thus, how we intervene becomes important.
- 1 in 68 children under age 10 in India are on the Autism Spectrum
- Though only 1% of them are enrolled in schools.
- Many are admitted into our 2500+ registered Special Schools
We work to keep the ones in school, in school, and bring the ones outside, inside our schools.
The work we do
WHY BRAIN BRISTLE?

What we do?
Our Work From the Ground Up
We begin work at the most important level of intervention, with children on the autism spectrum across Mumbai’s low income schools via our laboratory of a Social Work Fellowship.
Ongoing Training & Supervision
Social Work Fellows are trained round the year in autism, teaching and leadership pedagogy. We also partner with other organizations for their training like The Circle India U, ASB and more.
This year, we are opening trainings to schools, educators and a larger audience.
Academic Intervention
Social Work Fellows work with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and Student Accommodation Plans (SAP) for student achievement goals for their school caseload.
Modules of Learning
We take our Modules of Learning to schools, educators and regions pan-India via a dedicated training team.
Research & Awareness
We bring research backed awareness to life through ongoing studies on owork and daily engagement with multiple stakeholders and organizations creating visibility, dialogue and planting seeds of inclusion.
