Krithika Sambasivan

Krithika is a faculty member at the School of Education, Azim Premji University. Her core interests lie in early childhood education, disability inclusion, disability policy, and early years inclusive education.

She has over 12 years of experience in the field of disability practice and research. Her journey in the field started as a physiotherapist working with children with developmental disabilities in early intervention settings. Her latter years of experience has led her to understand disabilities from the lens of neuroscience to policy-level requirements. She has master’s degrees both in Rehabilitation Sciences, and Child and Adolescent Development.

During her journey, she has realised and always valued the role of education and holistic development of young children with disabilities, and as a faculty member she hopes to develop ways to strengthen disability inclusion in early years education through teaching, capacity building, practice, and research.
