Disability Certificate ka Sach: 40% Benchmark, UDID Card, Autism/SLD Support Explained

Guest Suggestion Form : https://forms.gle/MsVJa2xVyTihw41q6 Guest- Dr. Mihir Parekh Description: In this episode, we unpack the real-world gap between rights on paper and support on the ground for neurodivergent children and adults in India. We talk about the RPwD Act, the “40% benchmark disability” reality, UDID/disability certification, late diagnosis pathways (Autism/ADHD/SLD), and what true inclusion looks like beyond enrolment. What you’ll learn (practical + systemic): Does the percentage threshold enable support or gatekeep it? The grey-zone cases that don’t neatly fit SLD or ID pathways Late diagnosis in adults: why it gets missed and what support routes exist How schools can rebuild trust: counselor role clarity, confidentiality, reporting lines Moving from punishment to evidence-based supports (without overwhelming teachers) Inclusion metrics: how to measure participation + progress, not just admission Why the goal should be function + wellbeing, not “normal” Vocational redesign focused on economic independence and supported employment Important note: This episode is for awareness and systems understanding. For diagnosis, therapy, legal benefits, or education planning, please consult qualified professionals and follow your state’s official process.
