Fees depend on the assessment, therapy frequency, and the support plan. We explain the recommended plan and cost clearly before parents commit.
Is the therapy safe for my child?+
Sessions are child-friendly and supervised by trained therapists. Non-invasive supports are recommended only when suitable and never presented as a standalone cure.

Some families notice early changes within weeks, while deeper developmental goals take longer. Progress depends on the child's profile, consistency, and home practice.
