Smiling Dandelion Foundation
Family networks, storytelling circles, art festivals, theatre and caregiver support: each initiative gives children and young adults with neurodiverse needs a place to learn, create and belong.
Each programme works on its own, and together they form one creative ecosystem for disability inclusion.
What began with one parent in Chandigarh is now a global network of 2,500+ families. We empower parents through workshops on health, education and inclusion, and bring families together through community events and international art exhibitions.

Each year TAFI brings neurodivergent children into a shared creative space where imagination flows across canvas, clay, rhythm and story, so every child can express their inner world and create something uniquely their own.

We use theatre as a transformative medium for persons with intellectual disabilities. Our productions bring neurodivergent and neurotypical performers together to rehearse, create and perform, building confidence, teamwork and self-expression.

Caregivers need care too. Our support group brings together families caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities in a warm, welcoming space to share, rest and find strength in one another.

We stand beside a small special school in Mohali, raising funds for better learning spaces and an occupational therapy room, training teachers, and supporting the Hunar skills programme for young adults.
Explore Discover Ability
An experiential learning programme that nurtures empathy, kindness and inclusion among children. Through storytelling, play, art and reflection, young minds learn to celebrate differences and build classrooms where every child feels valued.
