Success Story

July 2017 with his parents. He is a child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  At the time of admission he was fully dependent on his parents for Activities of Daily Living.  He also had sitting and eye contact issues. He was also afraid of heights.  After thorough assessment by our medical team and special educators a proper developmental plan was set up and training was provided regularly. Also his mother was trained on various aspects of child care.
