Autism and speech therapy in Chennai

Autism therapy in Chennai

Children on the autism spectrum work with our occupational therapists, speech therapists and behaviour therapists as one team. Sessions build communication, play, sensory regulation and daily-living skills at your child’s own pace, with parents guided on how to carry the same strategies into home and school.

What parents say about our therapy centre in Chennai

“Our son started with very few words. Within a few months of speech therapy here, he began asking for what he wanted and joining in at playschool. The team explained every goal to us and gave us simple activities to do at home.”
Parent of a 4 year oldSpeech and Language Therapy, Selaiyur
“The occupational therapy sessions changed our daily routine. Dressing, eating and handwriting are far easier now, and the therapists always show us what to practise between visits.”
Parent of a 6 year oldOccupational Therapy, Tambaram
“What we value most is being kept in the loop. We can see the goals and session notes on our phone, so we always know what was worked on and how our daughter is progressing.”
