Hi! I am Vaish
I help students with disabilities learn advanced academics.
Â
My mission is to help you and your child learn ANYTHING you wish to.
I AM MOM TO A NON-SPEAKING TEEN
WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND AUTISM
I TEACH MATH AND SCIENCE TO
AUTISTIC STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY
I HAVE TAUGHT HUNDREDS OF
PARENTSÂ HOW TO TEACH THEIR CHILD
AGE-APPROPRIATE ACADEMICS
MY STORY
 After years of running behind degrees (I have two masters and a Ph.D.), I realized 14 years ago that none of the degrees had taught me how to help my son (who was born with Down Syndrome and was later diagnosed as being Autistic) learn anything.Â
 Worse, experts in Autism Education had no idea either.Â
I explored conventional options for the first 4 years of his life: OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, PHYSICAL THERAPY, SPEECH THERAPY, COMMUNICATION THERAPY, HORSEBACK RIDING, OUR LOCAL DOWN SYNDROME CLINIC, DOCTORS …
I am sure I am forgetting some!
One look at him, and EVERY practitioner I met told me that genetics could not be helped, and I must resign to having a child who would experience extreme intellectual delay with minimal chances at life!
His teachers even said he was one of the most intellectually delayed kids they had worked with.
When I dipped into my depression, my anger, my frustration, and came out through them on the other side, I simply knew that THIS WAS NOT TRUE. It couldn’t be (my ego did some of the heavy lifting here- after all I was so smart, why wouldn't he be?).
So I decided to figure it out myself. I was already teaching some neurotypical students Math and Chemistry by then.
I knew how every kid could learn. I knew labels were mostly for the convenience of the system.
So I dug in deep. And fast forward, my son is 18, HE HAS LEARNTÂ ALGEBRA, HE WRITES POETRY, and yes, he is still non-speaking! In fact, his first book will be published by a major publishing house in Fall 2025.Â
I believe that cognition is a faculty available to children of any disability / lable.
“An equal accessible education and sound nutrition are the birthright of every child!”Â
I CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR “SEVERELY” DELAYED CHILD TO HELP THEM LEARN AND GROW
HERE'S THE TRUTH ABOUT LEARNING AND EDUCATION!
Â
Intelligence is not a fixed trait.
It is not easily measured.
It is not easily channeled.
But it can be cultivated!
Educating your child doesn’t have to be a 24 hour job.
Or a 40 hours / week ordeal.
Or a routine that you have to tape on your fridge, so you don’t miss even one of their sessions.
I learned my lesson early on when I spent weeks struggling through impossible routines,
only for my son to be more miserable, and more zoned out ...
I have spent years optimizing the amount of time and effort needed, so you and I don’t have sign off our lives to make change!
