I am a mother to a son of 7 years, who was diagnosed with ADHD and autism at an early age of 2+ years. Until then these terms were only seen in movies or read in books. Now it was our reality. We went through all the phases of grief-denial, anger, depression, and finally acceptance. We began the hunt for a therapy center that can support us on this journey.
Our son's physical milestones were all on par and we didn't know what to look for that would tell us the "red flags" that would indicate Autism. On the surface, he was a happy and healthy baby. By the time we learned of his inability to maintain eye contact or lack of expression and speech, the worst disaster of our generation happened the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we were even more isolated, cut off from socializing and communication. Once the lockdown was lifted, we wanted to get back to therapies. This is when we came in contact with Sinchana Foundation. After spending many precious years at different therapy centers with not a lot of progress, Sinchana Foundation has been a blessing to us and they have some of the best therapists on their team. The main difference I noticed is the transparency between therapists and parents. Most therapy centers conduct their sessions with the child in a locked room, with no insight for the parents. More than the "what" needs to be done, we need to learn the "how" part. That is what Sinchana Foundation ensures. The sessions take place with parents in the same room. The therapists are always open to queries and easy to approach. Now, I am fairly confident that in the future I can take care of my son's needs.
Sinchana Foundation has been more of a family than any other related by blood. I will always be grateful to them and thankful for bringing my son to a level where I am confident to send him to a mainstream school.

Sinchana Foundation has truly been a godsend for my son and us.When our son was first diagnosed with autism, we were not prepared to face the challenges.We visited many Therapy centres and clinics, but none of them were effective. Until we were introduced to Sinchana Foundation.
Sinchana Foundation does not think of your child as a patient; it is not like most centres when once the 45 min slot is over, the relation between therapist and child is over. At Sinchana Foundation they focus on training the parents by encouraging parents to be present in the room, instead of relying on monthly sync ups.
This helps the parents to learn”how” to teach our special kids, along with “what” to teach.This builds our confidence too. The therapists at Sinchana Foundation as always are ready to answer our queries and guide us.
Apart from the 1-1 therapy sessions, Sinchana Foundation Organises a weekly game-therapy and origami class for the kids.
My son and I have been part of the Sinchana Family for almost 1.5 years and I see so much improvement in his social interactions and academic advancements.We parents too do not feel lost anymore. Sinchana Family has been a support structure for us parents in a society that does not yet accept our special needs children.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart , to everybody at Sinchana Foundation.There are no words to express my gratitude for all help and support given.

A hopeful mother of a special child
We were in search of a better place for the therapy for my six year child, since he is having the issue of hyperactivity and has not yet started to talk, lack of eye contact etc. finally we came to Sinchana Foundation and they were willing to admit our child in Sinchana Foundation. Initially he was not at all cooperating with them and we were in hesitation..but charitha maam convinced me and she allowed me to be with the child while doing the session. And it is five months over, now he has developed sitting tolerance, improved his concentration, he is listening and his social behaviour also has improved. According to the instructions of Ranjitha mam we have given him training and now he has left the habit of using a diaper.
Our sincere thanks to the sinchana family for giving us the support and the comfortable atmosphere in sinchana for the well being of our child.
Thank you!”GOD BLESS U ALL”

THANK YOU SINCHANA
Before joining sinchana my son hardly spoke a few words. However, after regularly attending their classes. I have noticed a significant improvement in his speech, behavior , eye contact and sitting tolerance now. He is even trying to write small sentences while talking. Sinchana is the perfect spot. It's the ideal place for my son to enhance his skills. The staff members are amazing and extremely friendly. They regularly provide guidance to parents on activities that can be done at home and also offer plenty of ideas to work on with our kids.

Our son Chirag who had all milestones on time had a delayed speech, we came to sinchana foundation through areference,in feb 2015, then onwards with their activites and guidance he picked up , he started doing all activitieswith lot of confidence, he used to fear all noise toys, was fearful & introvert, however with guidance from tutors &councillors who approached issues on case to case basis and tailored solutions to indivdual unique problems on a individual basis and with suitable interventions made him confident,& bold, now he as reached a level where hespeaks well, now approaches boldly does not have fear for minor issues.
Thanks to sinchana foundation all tutors who have a very open & homely environment which makes innocent youngones to maintain individual space and also drives their individual ambition to go to outside environment.

Hi , I have been with Sinchana since one year and it has been a remarkable journey. I could find drastic changes in the overall development of my son. He was continually supported by the therapists and with this he is capable of understanding concepts, learning writing skills, problem-solving and reasoning with more focus on speech and language development.
I have also referred a few friends whose kids need special attention to sinchana as it is a place of excellence.

It is difficult to express in words how Sinchana has helped Pavni. This is the best thing that has happened to us. The only regret is we dint find it sooner. Initially I was under an impression that taking Pavni to the best therapist or the best therapy centre made me believe that we are doing our best and Pavni will automatically over a period of time recover from the issues because of the therapy she is receiving.But the fact is all the therapy that she receives gets overriden by the hours of free time after she is back home after therapy.This happened to me because as a parent I didnt know what to do at home with the child to keep the stimulation going since they are not taught by the therapist and therapy centres are only dealing with the child.This was the major drawback in case of Pavni and this was fixed by sinchana.
The first most beneficial point and an exceptional feature of Sinchana was 'Every day an hour 1:1 class in front of the parent'.This class helps the child and teaches the parent.After coming to Sinchana I got the ideas of how to keep stimulation on for the rest of the day for my child.Pavni had a great teacher Charitha who understands any child that comes to her. Though pavni was not a rude adamant child she had behaviour issues and I was taught how to handle her in every situation she showed her behaviours.We have seen tremendous improvement in Pavni in a holistic way.Be it Speech,Play,Social,Self Care,Cognition. Thanks and grateful to Charitha for her role in Pavni's Developments.There is a learning in every single activity Charitha gives to Pavni and lot of tips for Parents in every sentance she speaks to the child.
For personal reasons we are relocating to JP Nagar and I truly miss Charitha's classes for Pavni.But with lot of happiness over Pavni's improvements we are moving and I hope I get a very honest professional like Charitha in future.My sincere request to Sinchana to extend classes on Saturdays so that it benefits for people staying far away from the therapy centre to atleast take one class per week. All the very best to Sinchana and WE MISS YOU.

Hello, I have been associated with Sinchana Foundation for the past 1.5 years, after a known history of my son’s autism. I have followed many therapies and visited different setups of related centres, but the results were seen only after we came to Sinchana Foundation. His concentration levels have increased and his speech has also improved.
The therapists are so supportive and student friendly. Moreover, the kinship I have found with the therapists helps us mothers to be able to face the challenges life throws at us. I have found Sinchana Foundation to be the best place for kids with special needs.

We joined sinchana on dec 2016 , we have given therapy for almost 28 months, In this period sinchna therapist are played a major role in shriyas development , infact she grown up with sinchana family, we used to come 5 days a week , 4 one-on-one therapy and one group session (movement therapy or game session).
Before this I want tell few things
Before we joined sinchana we have finished almost a year of therapy at 2 more therapy centers but still she was not knowing any of the feelings like pain, sadness,hungry nothing , Akila was the first one to teach her the pain experience practically ,she literally feeded the curd rice to her as she never wanted to taste it, she used to vomit on akila , she never felt bad , really thank you akila for your dedication and patients towards kids. She took almost a year of therapy to shriya ,Slowly shriya started to go to next level. Thanks to Akila.
Then Charitha took the therapy class for shriya till last therapy class,she is a wonderful therapist I have seen , she is having good command on kids , shriya learnt many things from her, infact she started speaking from words to sentence only because of her. Lot of tips from you helped me to correct myself ,I saw overall development in shriya, Thank you charitha for your effort towards her.
Not only charitha and akila I would like to thank all therapist in sinchana because they stood with me in all type of problems, they used to support us emotionally , they used to make us to feel emotionally strong when we are very low in emotion , we used to cry many times sharing our feelings they are the one who make us to feel strong.
I would say they played a major role in bring up my daughter for almost 2 years of her important age of her journey.
We are very happy that we came to right place in right time to take therapy , they take therapy one-on-one in front of parents that is one of greatest advantage for parents as we can learn a lot from this, also they give lot and lot of tips to parent to bring up child in all ways. We can talk about our kids anytime to therapist ,when needed they used to counsel the father also, these things we will not find in any other therapy centers.
We enjoyed sinchanas anniversary celebrations meant only for mummys , games and many more activity only for mummyies , it was like a stress reliever for all ladies there, then deepavali bursting crackers with kids, painting deepas , all those small small steps was very nice , thank you sinchana people thinking differently not only about kids but also thinking about mothers .
