Child Guidance Centre

Mission

Restoring and strengthening emotional wellbeing of children beyond the family’s best effort to give their child an accomplishing and joyous life. The journey of all children do not follow an expected pathway as 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, and peer relationships. Yet all children deserve opportunities to dream for their lives, experience happiness and reach their fullest potential.

Services

Child Guidance Center offers children comprehensive diagnostic assessments by qualified team of Social Worker, Special Educator, Psychologist, Speech Therapist and Occupational Therapist. 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 12 years. Parents who are concerned about the child's learning, emotional and behavioral difficulties can contact the centre for assessment and guidance. Families from any region, socioeconomic status can seek services at a nominal fee. Parents can take appointment and subsequently child and the families are worked individually and exclusively.

Child Guidance Center organizes workshops for Parents, Principals, Teachers, Counsellors and Educationists on various educational/ psycho-social issues related to children. These workshops are organized in various schools as an outreach activity and at the institute as in-house training activity.

The centre accommodates internship for training and placement for students of Home Science, Social Work, Sociology, Food & Nutrition, Psychology, Nursing and allied fields, where they have exposure to understand differently able children and multidisciplinary interventions and services provided to children.

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 its family situation.

Comprehensive assessments by multidisciplinary team call for 8-10 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 parent’s and the child's life is not disturbed on account of the visits to the centre.
