Several years ago, Dr. Nandedkar's non-verbal autistic son, Bryn, was very ill. In despair, she wrote a song with local musician, Michael Fath called "Bryn's Song: The Puzzle" to describe the puzzling nature of his illness. That illness turned out to be a drug reaction! Stopped the drug and now Bryn is all better! 

 ​​

Proceeds from the song go to  "Canine Partner's for Life", an organization that matches service and therapy dogs with adults and children with special needs. She and Bryn applied for a dog received Saki in 2017.  Saki is a trained therapy dog who comes to PDC on Thursdays to help patients cope with their procedures.

​Saki is a male black lab, who was trained for Bryn. Canine Partners carefully matched Saki with Bryn. He has helped Bryn communicate more effectively. Bryn gets his haircut with Saki in tow.  Who couldn't love this dog? While Bryn is at his Day Program, Saki comes to PDC only on Procedure Thursdays.

​​​​Thanks for all your support over the years!​​
