By Express News ServiceCHENNAI: Trying to make a difference in the lives of children with autism, Nimaya Robotics, the brainchild of Dr Ramya Moorthy, Srinivasa Moorthy and Subashree Krishnan recently brought to the fore a new therapy system — Suprayoga, to help and assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other intellectual disabilities. The company has joined hands with the National Institute for Empowerment of People with Multiple Disabilities (NIEPMD) to enable the use of this system. “It projected that learning in children with disabilities showed about 50 per cent improvement,” said Ramya adding that, essentially, this technology showed better results than others. Suprayoga will help children with ASD in learning to grasp information, learn hand-eye coordination and get a sense of direction. Since it is a robot, it does the same function repeatedly, which a person with autism can relate to..
