Expert occupational therapy, speech therapy, behaviour therapy and counselling for children with autism, ADHD, sensory and developmental needs — under one warm, caring roof in Kharadi & Dhanori.
"Where there is Hope, there is Healing."
Founded in 2020 by Dr. Shaziya Virani (Senior Occupational Therapist) and Ritwik Pillai (Managing Director), Hope Child Development Centre was born from a simple belief — that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their abilities or challenges.
We look at each child individually and design treatment around their unique developmental needs. Through a cohesive, multi-disciplinary team approach, we bring occupational therapy, speech therapy, behaviour therapy, remedial education and counselling together under one roof — reducing the number of visits families need across separate specialists.
Empower children with diverse abilities to thrive — academically, socially, emotionally and physically.
A world where every child is valued, supported, and given the chance to reach their fullest potential.
A thorough assessment comes first. Then our specialists design an individual programme around exactly what your child needs to grow with confidence.
