Mumbai’s first park for specially abled children opens in Bandra West

Ishaan Saxena went straight to the wheels attached to the wall as soon as he entered the park and spent a lot of time spinning them. The 12-year-old is on the autism spectrum. He also spent time moving the basketballs through the metal channel

His mother and caretaker follow.
