My journey began when my son was diagnosed with autism. Like many parents, I was searching for answers and a support system that truly understood our experiences. That search led me to connect with other mothers, and together, we created a community that has now grown into InspireAbilities.
 

My vision is rooted in a simple belief: every individual has the potential to thrive when given the right support and opportunities. I’m passionate about helping people discover their strengths and build skills that lead to purposeful, fulfilling lives.
 

Alongside my work with InspireAbilities, I also run an information technology company. This allows me to bring both heart and hands-on experience to the mission we’re building every day.

Ramya’s journey into the world of neurodiversity began with a deep desire to listen, learn, and build meaningful connections. Through heartfelt conversations with families and caregivers, she discovered the profound impact of shared stories, collective support, and accessible resources. This experience shaped her mission: to make sure no one feels isolated on their neurodiverse journey.
 

As a passionate marathoner and fitness advocate, Ramya believes strongly in the connection between physical activity and mental resilience. This philosophy not only empowers her personally but also inspires her professionally. With over 20 years of leadership experience, she is focused on transforming empathy into action—developing inclusive, technology-driven support systems that ensure neurodiverse individuals and their families feel seen, supported, and valued. Her vision is clear: to help create communities rooted in compassion, connection, and empowerment.
