Main article Pathway Centers for Children

As a 22 year old speech pathologist and audiologist, Dr. Prasad learned that to pay for his professional services clients quite often would have to sell everything they had and would make great sacrifices. Impressed by this, he eventually started giving free services to whoever needed it.[1]

Prasad established Pathway with a motive to help those were underprivileged and disadvantaged in the society.

Recently a biography on Dr. Prasad's, life "Prasad Enroru Thai" (Tamil: பிரசாத் என்றொ௫ தாய் )was released in October 2008.[2]
