A consultancy for disability and mental health support, through clinical work and trainings. This is provided directly to individuals, caregivers/parents, professionals and teachers, and through liaising with schools and various organisations.
The fundamental tenets of personhood, presuming competence, collaboration and self-advocacy, while using principles of narrative ideas and practices and trauma informed care, are the basis of all support.
Clinical Work
One on one sessions for individuals, and/or their families, teachers and caregivers.
The sessions focus on a balance between theoretical inputs and practical options on a wide range of topics across the lifespan.
Creating Connections
between home, school and professionals since 2007
Though a major part of my knowledge sharing work is family-centric, I have also enjoyed trainings and seminars with professionals and students such as:
• various batches of Calcutta University MPhil. students of Psychology
• the global Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) community as an empanelled consultant for disability, diversity and inclusion
• Indian Psychiatric Society members
• students of Paediatrics at Chittaranjan Hospital, Kolkata
• teachers at NGOs such as Autism Society West Bengal & Future Hope, mainstream schools like Birla High School & La Martiniere for Boys.

Shaneel is extremely systematic and methodical in her work and approach. She gives a patient hearing.
My son has started enjoying the conversations he has with her and feels they would be beneficial for him.

The best place to start.
I found myself drowning in all kinds of information when my son was diagnosed, which is why I'm so grateful that I met Shaneel then. She has in-depth knowledge, experience, and contacts to refer to. Her guidance also helped me battle my own depression, and she has great empathy for us caregivers.
I’d like to add that she's friendly, very accessible, and has a calming effect on people.

From lockdown till date we are following Shaneel Madam's process to deal with the diagnosis. Whatever improvement has been achieved by my autistic daughter is only for her realistic approach about what we faced. Whenever we have any new concern, she gives us the rightful process to deal with it.
