Our Team

Why is a Multi-Disciplinary Team Critical?

Children with developmental differences often face challenges that are not limited to just one domain. A child diagnosed with Autism, for example, may have speech delays, sensory sensitivities, behavioral challenges, and difficulties in social interaction — all at once. Similarly, a child with ADHD may struggle with attention, self-regulation, academic performance, and social skills.

A multi-disciplinary team ensures that:

• Every aspect of the child’s development is assessed and addressed — no single problem is viewed in isolation.
• Experts from different fields collaborate closely, share insights, and design integrated intervention plans.
• The family receives cohesive guidance rather than fragmented advice from multiple professionals.
• Progress is monitored from all perspectives — medical, functional, emotional, and academic — ensuring the child’s overall well-being.

  They help unlock the child’s inner world, paving the way for better emotional health and social functioning.

• 3. Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)

  They empower every child to express themselves — in words, gestures, signs, or technology.

• 4. Occupational Therapists (OTs)
  The Sensory and Motor Developers

  Our OTs address a child’s ability to participate meaningfully in daily life — from self-care to play to classroom tasks. Their interventions include:

  • Sensory Integration Therapy for hypersensitivity or sensory-seeking behaviors
  • Fine motor skills (writing, cutting, buttoning)
  • Gross motor skills (climbing, balancing, catching)

  They bridge the gap between the child’s abilities and daily life demands — creating independence and confidence.

  Special Educators help children overcome learning challenges to reach their academic potential. Their work includes:

  • Early literacy and numeracy skill-building
  • Remediation for Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia)
  • Study skills, attention training, memory techniques
  • Adaptation of curriculum and teaching methods based on individual needs
  • Coordination with mainstream or special schools for classroom support

  They ensure no child is left behind in their educational journey.

  The Behavior Shapers

  Specialists trained in behavior modification, they focus on:

  • Reducing disruptive behaviors (tantrums, aggression, self-injury)
  • Teaching alternative positive behaviors
  • Building attention, task completion, waiting, and social interaction skills
  • Parent training for home behavior management
  • Consistency in behavior plans across clinic, home, and school settings

  They transform challenging behaviors into opportunities for learning and connection.
