Introduction
We at Jivhala Social Foundation are of the opinion that every child is born with the right to grow and lead a contented life. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disorder of development which is hard to understand and impacts social interactions, communication, and behaviour. Compassion, competence, and individualisation are needed to identify and address these issues. Being the first and foremost Autism Spectrum Disorders treatment centre in Pune, Jivhala Social Foundation has been at the forefront of revolutionising the lives of children and guiding families towards the path of hope and healing.
Getting the right treatment centre is literally the most important choice that any family will ever make. We are unique at Jivhala Social Foundation because we are dedicated to personalised care, state-of-the-art therapies, and international support networks specially designed for autistic children.
1. Comprehensive Diagnosis and Analysis
Effective treatment starts with a good understanding of the child's own needs. Our assessment process includes developmental screening and standardised testing, behavioural and social relationship measurements, speech, language, and sensory testing, and extended consultation with child psychologists and neurologists.
These tests enable us to discover strengths, areas of struggle, and personal challenges in order for an individual treatment plan to be created.
2. Skilled Multidisciplinary Team
Our centre employs a full-time team of specialists such as paediatric neurologists and developmental specialists, child psychologists and behaviour analysts, licensed speech and occupational therapists, and special educators with extensive experience.
With this diversity of specialists, all aspects of your child's development are given comprehensive coverage as a team.
3. Individualised Therapy Programs
Every child with autism is different. We develop highly individualised programmes in communication, cognitive skills, behaviour management, and social skills.
4. Family-First Approach
We consider autism a family illness, not the child's illness. We involve parents and caregivers in an active role by counselling, training, and emotional support during the process of therapy.
5. Safe, Supportive Environment
We have child-friendly therapy rooms, sensory integration rooms, and relaxation rooms where children are allowed to relax, feel at ease, and are encouraged to receive therapy.
Children and adults on the autism spectrum may also exhibit overlapping traits with other conditions like personality disorders. Our Personality Disorder Treatment in Pune offers personalized therapeutic approaches for such cases.
1. Early Intervention Programs
Early detection and intervention can even be a life-changer. We have intensive programmes for as young as 18 months with a special focus on communication and language, regulation of sensory processing, modification of behaviour, and cognitive skill development.
2. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
ABA therapy has become internationally renowned all over the world as being an extremely effective technique to treat autism. We use ABA at Jivhala to instruct functional skills and diminish interfering behaviour, improve social interaction skills, render an individual more independent through reinforcement, and improve school readiness and learning.
3. Speech and Language Therapy
Communication problems are among the most critical problems for most children with ASD to go through. Our speech therapy includes promoting both verbal and non-verbal speech, articulation and understanding, social conversation techniques, and the use of augmentative communication devices where needed.
4. Occupational Therapy (OT)
OT focuses on improving the functional capacity of a child for independent performance of activities of daily living. Sensory integration development, motor coordination development, fine and gross motor, and training for daily living are all included in our occupational therapy.
5. Behavior Therapy and Counseling
Behavioural issues appear to impact social behaviour and learning too. Our interventions include functional behavioural analysis, positive behaviour support plans, emotional regulation techniques, and stress and anxiety coping techniques.
6. Social Skills Development
The children receive systematic social training, which allows them to learn co-operative play and sharing, recognise non-verbal and facial expressions, make friends, and develop social confidence in terms of behaviour when playing in groups.
7. Special Education Support
We have individually tailored instruction plans created for the child if they are receiving instructional support. We use visual supports and other interactive instructional materials, provide daily one-on-one instruction sessions, and are cautious with functional academics and life skills.
8. Parent Training and Support Groups
Empowering and educating parents is of utmost significance. Regular training sessions on management of ASD at home, practice of therapy outside the centre, stress reduction counselling, and community support groups and experiential learning are provided by us.
We provide integrated support through our Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre in Pune to ensure individuals with autism receive structured and compassionate long-term care.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Parents meet with our experts regarding issues, medical history, and observation of child behaviour.
Step 2: In-depth Assessment
Multi-disciplinary assessment to obtain a 360-degree view of child development.
Step 3: Individualised Plan Creation
Our professionals create an individualised treatment plan to address communication, behaviour, sensory processing, and social skills based on assessments.
Step 4: Treatment Provision
Children receive structured treatments like ABA, OT, speech, and special ed.
Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring and Refinement
Progress is tracked regularly to adjust treatment as necessary. Parents are informed with each revision.
Step 6: School and Social Integration Support
We equip children to be integrated into mainstream schools and society through teaching them independence and coping skills.
Step 7: Long-Term Development Programs
We do not abandon children as they age, guiding them through successful adolescence into adulthood.
Empirical research shows that early interventions yield fundamental changes in language and intellectual development, social and emotional development, control of behaviour, and eventual independence.
Jivhala Social Foundation activities are limited in number but are excellent stepping stones for the future development of children.
Our centre provides large child-centred therapy rooms and cutting-edge sensory integration equipment and play areas outside for physical and social development. It also includes interactive learning areas and quiet, comfortable retreats designed specifically to avoid anxiety and overstimulation.
Success Stories
We have witnessed numerous tear-inducing milestones throughout the decades: silent children who can speak; inclusion of children in regular schools with encouragement of their family; reduced behavioural issues with more social integration.
Our work is based on empathy, experience, and unshakable passion for each child's journey.Community Awareness Programs
We attempt to unite society and make it inclusive and accepting by conducting regular autism awareness workshops and campaigns, teacher and school training, community acceptance and understanding activities, and collaborations with NGOs and medical experts.
