Municipal Accessibility (Give us a Minute)
Municipal Accessibility (Give us a minute) is a program initiated by two of Kind Force’s youngest members, 10-year-old Ashvita and 9-year-old Hasan Ahmed. Ashvita uses her artistic talent to create powerful art, while Hasan, who is a minimally-speaking autistic child, adds meaningful titles with his impactful words. Together, they aim to inspire leaders to include autistic and neurodivergent people in their decision-making processes, advocating for greater accessibility and understanding in communities.
Ashvita
Ashvita is a 10-year-old artist, musician, singer, baker and self-appointed ‘Head’ of her Prep School for rescue puppies.
Born with a unique perspective on the world, Ashvita navigates life with autism, using music and art to connect and express in a way her words can’t.

She is a singer (Grade – I certified from Trinity College London) and is part of Columbia Children’s Choir, Seattle. She’s been playing the piano since age 6 and plays the clarinet with her School band.
