About

Every parent who found the right specialist had someone help them search. Most don't.

SOUND helps neurodivergent people and their families find specialists — doctors, therapists, educators and more — who understand neurodivergence. We're starting in Goa, and growing city by city.

What we're here to do

6+ yearsFrom first noticing something's different to finding support that fits.

9–10Professionals a family typically sees along the way.

That's the average, not the exception. SOUND exists to shorten it. We find specialists who understand neurodivergence, check their details by phone, and help families reach them, so no one has to start from zero.

Everyone is welcome here, whatever your gender, sexuality, caste, religion, language or income.

Who SOUND is for

Two sides of one search — families looking, and professionals who want to be found.

For families

Run by volunteers

SOUND is run by a small team of volunteers. They check specialists' details, and answer families who need help searching. If you'd like to join them, we'd be glad to have you.

From the founder

Ashish A (Levi), Founder & Director, SOUND

I watched people I love spend years searching for help that should've been easy to find. SOUND is what I built instead.

“I know how long and lonely the search for the right help can be. I started SOUND so that families in Goa can find that help sooner, and for free.”
— Ashish A (Levi), Founder & Director, SOUND
