About Us
Every skill learned with care. Every person seen.
We build bridges between potential and opportunity by focusing on teaching young autistic individuals the skills that matter, employment that respects dignity, and daily supports that foster real participation. Our work is rooted in evidence-based practices and shaped by what neurodivergent adults themselves need to thrive- not by what the world expects them to tolerate.
At Ura, employment is not an endpoint, it is part of a broader ecosystem of meaningful engagement, autonomy, and self-directed life skills. We believe that when the environment adapts to the individual, rather than forcing the individual to adapt to a rigid environment , everyone benefits.
Through our work, we aim to shift how society understands neurodivergence:
not as a limitation, but as a different and brilliant way of being.
Meet The Team
Ura’s work is carried out by a small, dedicated team of trainers and facilitators who work closely with students on a daily basis. Each team member is trained to support diverse learning styles, communication needs, and sensory profiles, ensuring consistency, safety, and respect across all environments.
Our team brings together experience in: vocational training and task instruction, life and functional skill development, supported communication practices, behaviour support rooted in dignity and evidence. Rather than operating in rigid roles, the team works collaboratively,adapting supports as students grow and needs change.
Founder & Program Director
Antara Dey Chowdhury
Ura was founded by Antara Dey Chowdhury, a behaviour analyst, vocational practitioner, and autism parent, with over a decade of hands-on experience supporting neurodivergent children, adolescents, and young adults.
Her work is grounded in evidence-based practice, lived experience, and a firm belief that dignity, autonomy, and meaningful engagement must remain central to all support systems.
Antara’s focus lies in building environments where neurodivergent individuals can develop real skills, participate in purposeful work, and communicate in ways that feel authentic and respected.
Ura reflects her commitment to long-term, ethical support, moving beyond short-term interventions toward sustainable models of vocational and life skill development.
