An East Bay teen is trying to make a difference and help children around the country with neurological differences. Emerald High School Senior Nithya Ravuri founded SEVAH Neuro, a nonprofit that aims to advocate for, and develop tools to help, children with autism, down syndrome, and more. It's now grown to over 500 members, and 15 chapters nationwide.
