What Families Say About Us
The sessions include personalized activities that work on multiple goals at the same time, which has been very helpful for our child’s development. The strategies shared are simple to use and easy for us to recreate at home, and we learned that there can be multiple ways to support one communication goal.
The guidance and support have been extremely helpful for our family. I would definitely recommend Subodha to other parents, because having a knowledgeable and supportive mentor through the AAC journey makes a big difference. We feel very fortunate to have found Subodha, especially Vanthanaa ma’am.
Dr. Hima BinduMother to Sai Darsh & Dhriti
We are so grateful for the team "SUBODHA"! My 13 yrs old had lack of confidence & speech clarity. Our therapist 'Nikita Krishna' engaged him in fun - filled activities throughout the sessions. His improvement is taking a leap forward. Now he looks forward to every session. Highly recommend this centre for their Compassionate & Dedicated service...!
Ms. Srujana KulkarniMother to Amogh, 13 years
I like the deeper understanding of non speaking communication at subodha.
My son Gopal is not just typing and communicating, he is able to communicate his feelings and needs which has eased our lives. Thanks to our therapist Christine Sarah Thomas & Anjana for their guidance & support.
Pinki DasMother to Sourav Das (Gopal), 20 years old
I feel fortunate that we have the experience of working with Anjana! She is an extremely educated person who knows autism inside out. And that reflects in my son's session with her. She only taught him how to use little ornamental English to complete a sentence, which in turn increased his vocabulary. She is one who knows how to reach his mind( probably better than me). Ritwick is much more confident in using Avaz AAC App since we started our session with her. This August we will be completing 2 years with her.
