An early intervention centre for children ages 2–8 with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Individualised, evidence-based ABA care in India. Opening soon in Chennai and Coimbatore.

Who we're for

Indian families looking for a safe and structured educational environment

Every family gets an in-depth, personalised pathway for their child.

Parents seeking an actionable diagnosis

Structured assessments help you learn more about your child and what to do next.

Children ages 2–8

Early intervention matters most. Our programme helps them build toward a high quality of life.

Families interested in being a part of the work

We work closely with entire families, because a child's biggest advocate is a family that understands them.

Our philosophy

Three commitments we call the 3 Cs

Everything we do traces back to three things we refuse to compromise on.

Competence in children

Helping every child build real, everyday life skills to thrive on their own terms, not just pass a test.

Confidence in parents

You are your child's first and most important advocate. We work alongside you, not around you, so progress doesn't depend on us being in the room.

Compassion in providers

Every child is met with acceptance, not a search for what to "fix." Their differences are understood, not pathologised.

We don't do eclectic care: a bit of this, a bit of that, whatever seems to work. Every method we use is evidence-based, or we don't use it.

Our methodology

What is assent-based care?

A short look at how we let the child lead, at their own pace, without losing structure.

Our services

Comprehensive care, without the runaround

Assessment, intervention, and family support, all under one roof.

Diagnostic assessment

Structured, standardised evaluation using gold-standard tools like ADOS-2. Clear answers, not vague impressions.

Early intervention (ABA-based)

Individualised, play-driven programmes that build communication, social connection, and everyday independence.

Speech & occupational therapy

Supporting communication, sensory processing, and daily-living skills alongside behavioural intervention.

Parent coaching

Practical, judgement-free guidance so families feel equipped, not just informed, between sessions.

School readiness

Building the skills that make formal schooling work for your child, on their timeline.

Referral partnerships

Working directly with paediatricians and neuro-paediatricians for the fastest possible path from concern to care.

Behind Balak Drithi

Built by people who've lived this work, not just studied it

We didn't set out to build another center from scratch. We brought together the specific expertise this work actually demands.

Hands-on special education

Years of direct, on-the-ground early intervention experience: working with children, not just studying the theory.

Decades of school leadership

A practical understanding of what inclusive education requires, and where it falls short for children who need more.

25 years of evidence-based practice

Guided by a practitioner who has spent 25 years running an evidence-based, ABA-focused autism center, learning firsthand what works in India.

Pediatric referral partnership

A practicing pediatrician's perspective on catching developmental concerns early, often before a formal diagnosis is sought.

Behavior technician experience

Real, current front-line ABA/RBT experience working directly with children in an established international behavioral center.

Technology, strategy & investment

Three decades of enterprise technology and business leadership, paired with family investment in building this the right way, not the fast way.

We're opening soon.
