Early intervention is most effective. If you notice any concern — delayed speech, limited eye contact, repetitive behaviors, or motor difficulties — bring your child as early as possible. We assess children from 18 months of age.

How long does a therapy program last?

Every child is different. After the initial assessment, our team designs an IEP with a recommended session frequency and duration. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is updated accordingly.

Is online counseling available?

Yes. We offer online video counseling for individuals and families who cannot visit in person. Sessions are conducted via a secure video call at your preferred time.

Do you provide therapy for adults as well?

Yes. Our One-to-One Counseling services are available for children, adolescents, adults, parents, couples, and families.

What is an IEP (Individualized Education Plan)?

An IEP is a personalized plan that outlines your child's specific goals, the therapy approaches to be used, and measurable targets. It is developed after a thorough assessment and updated as your child progresses.

Is the information I share kept confidential?

Absolutely. All client information, assessments, and session details are strictly confidential and handled according to professional ethical standards.
