Child Guidance Centre

Mission: The Mission of Child Guidance Centre is

Restoring and Strengthening Emotional Wellbeing of Children and Families: Beyond the families’ best efforts to give their child an accomplishing and joyous life, the journey of all children does not follow an expected pathway. Some children experience sadness, guilt, worthlessness, fear or respond to others with anger, may harm themselves or others and the like. Some children may be limited in their attention concentration, ability to stay focused, ability to learn academics, social skills, peer relationships. Yet all children deserve opportunities to dream for their lives, experience happiness and reach their fullest potential.

Services

It offers specialized screening and diagnosis of children suspected of, at risk of or showing learning, behavior, attention, and developmental difficulties.

Our team helps the child and family in recognizing what is coming in the way of success and happiness and find ways to make life bloom despite the limitations.

Assessment Services of the Center are available to families with young children up to the age of 18 years. Parents who are concerned about the child's learning, emotional and behavioral difficulties can contact the Centre from assessment and guidance. Families from any region, socioeconomic status can seek services at a nominal fee. Parents are met through appointment where the child and the family are worked with individually and exclusively.

Guiding Philosophy

The development of a child is shaped by his or her unique biological, psychological and social environment. Thus, to understand the child, the team works together with the child and family to discover his or her unique profile and find ways to reach the goal post of success and accomplishments through the child's emotional and cognitive abilities within the family situation.

Comprehensive assessments by multidisciplinary team call for case dependent assessment sessions with the child and the family. Care is taken to economize the visits of the family to the Centre by planning more than one assessment session on a day so that it is child friendly and does not disturb the parents' and child's lives on account of the visits to the Centre. It is also seen that child friendly environment is provided when the child visits the Centre.
