Autism therapy in Vasant Kunj is not one thing. It is a programme assembled from several disciplines around what a particular child actually needs, which is why the first honest question is not how many hours but which hours. The centre is in Vasant Kunj itself. This page sets out what the programme can contain, what it is aiming at, and what it is not promising.

Our Vasant Kunj centre
This is the one locality page where the centre really is in the locality. eMbrace Vasant Kunj is at C-7, Sector C, Pocket 5, in the basement of Grand Vasant Kunj, New Delhi 110070.
It is our largest team, and the practical consequence is choice: if a clinician is not the right fit for your child, or you need a particular language, there is somebody else in the building rather than a wait for the one person who does that work.
Families reach us here from across south-west Delhi, including Vasant Vihar, Munirka, R.K. Puram, Safdarjung Enclave, Anand Niketan, Shanti Niketan, West End Colony, Moti Bagh and Chanakyapuri.
This is the heaviest commitment we offer: potentially two or three appointments a week across different disciplines, sustained over months, so the journey is not a detail. Be blunt on the intake call about what your week can carry. A smaller programme that runs for a year beats an ambitious one abandoned in six.
For parking, the nearest drop-off point and the quickest route at your particular time of day, ask on the intake call. Traffic and parking around every one of these centres change enough through the day that current directions from someone who works there beat anything we could fix on a web page.
What the therapy is aiming at
The goal is a child who can communicate what they need, take part in what matters to them, and spend less of the day distressed. It is not making an autistic child indistinguishable from a non-autistic one. That distinction changes which goals go in the plan, so it is worth asking any provider where they stand before you commit.
- Communication, whether spoken, signed or through a device, so a child can get needs and ideas across
- Regulation and sensory strategies, so the day contains fewer overwhelming moments
- Participation at home and at school, measured in what a child can join in with
- Parent and sibling support, because the programme runs at home far more hours than it runs with us
Behaviour therapy, sleep, feeding, emotional regulation and autism with ADHD each have their own page on our autism hub.
What a programme is made of
A programme draws on behaviour therapy and parent training, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, special education for school access, and physiotherapy where movement is affected. For the youngest children it is organised around naturalistic early intervention, embedded in play and daily routines rather than delivered at a table.
What we will not do is put every child on the same package. The plan starts from a written baseline, names a few goals in terms you could check yourself, and is reviewed on a set date. If a goal is not moving, the plan changes.
What programmes tend to look like here
Vasant Kunj runs the fullest programmes we offer, because behaviour therapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy all sit in the same building and the clinicians can talk to each other between sessions rather than by email.
The international school catchment shapes the goals: a great deal of the work is about access to a mainstream curriculum, and about writing something a school in any system can actually act on.

Schools and services we already work with
Autism support around Vasant Kunj does not stop at our door, and the organisations we work with shape what we can offer.
At the American Embassy School in Chanakyapuri we carry out psychoeducational, cognitive, comprehensive and brief assessments, including risk assessments, and provide therapy for children and adolescents.
We work with The British School in Chanakyapuri on psychoeducational, cognitive and risk assessments, therapy for children and adolescents, and workshops for teachers, parents and pupils.
Since 2025 we have delivered corporate workshops with Atypical Advantage on inclusivity and neurodiversity, autism awareness and mental health awareness.
Fees, hours, and how progress is judged
Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call and depend on which disciplines the programme uses and how often. Because it is assembled rather than sold as a package, you get the shape and the cost together before anything starts.
We review formally on a date set in advance, against the goals written at the start. Beware anyone promising a timeline or an outcome for autism therapy, because nobody can honestly give you one.
Frequently asked questions
Because behaviour therapy, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy all sit in the same building, so clinicians talk to each other between sessions rather than by email.
Yes. Much of the work here is curriculum access, and reports are written so a school in any system can use them.
No. The goal is communication, participation and less distress, not making an autistic child indistinguishable from a non-autistic one.
