Child Development Centre in Gurgaon

A child development centre in Gurgaon is not a service so much as an address: the place where assessment and every therapy a child might need after it sit under one roof, so a family is not sent on a fresh search each time something new is identified. The centre is in Gurgaon itself.

Our Gurugram centre

eMbrace Gurugram is at 710, DLF City Court, Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road, Nathupur, Sector 24, Gurugram 122002. Guru Dronacharya on the Yellow Line is roughly 700 metres away, which makes this one of the few specialist child psychology services in Gurugram you can reach without a car.

That matters for families coming from DLF Phases 1 to 4, Sushant Lok, Sector 54 and the sectors around it, and it matters again for teenagers who would rather come to a session independently than be dropped off by a parent.

Delhi families sometimes choose Gurugram over our Delhi centres simply because the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road run is easier from where they live than crossing south Delhi. Either centre is fine, and the same pathway runs at both.

The point of a centre rather than a list of separate providers is that appointments can be grouped. A child needing three disciplines can often be seen on one day rather than three, and the clinicians can speak to each other about your child without you having to carry messages between them.

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 a development centre is for

Children rarely have difficulty in only one area. A child referred for late speech often turns out to have sensory difficulties too; a child referred for behaviour often has an unidentified learning difficulty underneath. A centre exists so that the second and third question can be answered by the same team that answered the first.

• Developmental assessment across communication, motor, cognitive, social and self-care skills
• Speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy
• Behaviour therapy, parent training and special education
• Psychological assessment for autism, ADHD and learning difficulties

What each service involves is set out on our child development centre page.

How it starts

With a free 15-minute intake call, then a developmental assessment that maps your child across all areas rather than only the one that prompted the call. That produces a written baseline you can measure against, and a plan naming which disciplines are involved, in what order, and when it will be reviewed.

Where nothing further is needed we say so. A centre that finds work for every child who walks in is not a centre worth trusting.

What the centre does most of

Our Gurugram centre carries psychology, assessment and occupational therapy on site, with speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and special education running from the Delhi centres or online. We map that out on the intake call rather than after you have committed, so you know from the start which parts involve a journey.

Referrals here skew young, most often from paediatricians and preschools.

Who you would see at our Gurugram centre

Dr Supriya Malik, Founder and CEO, and Head of the Child Development Centre at Rainbow

PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Birmingham, where she was also a postdoctoral researcher, and a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society in the UK. She designed the assessment and therapy pathways every eMbrace centre runs.

At our Gurugram centre, the clinicians who take this work are:

Mannat Kaur Arora, Psychologist

She holds an MOT in Neurology from SVNIRTAR, Utkal University, where she was gold medallist, and a BOT from PDUNIPPD, University of Delhi. She works in paediatric occupational therapy and early intervention, alongside neurorehabilitation and cognitive rehabilitation.

Which of them you see is decided on the intake call rather than by whoever has the next free slot, and you are told who it will be before you book. Fuller biographies are on our about page.

Schools and services we already work with

A child development centre is only as good as what it connects to, and around Gurgaon that includes:

We work with Pathways School Gurgaon on psychoeducational, cognitive and risk assessments, therapy for children and adolescents, and workshops for teachers, parents and pupils.

Through The Medical Travel Company we provide autism and ADHD assessment and therapy for families in the UK, across Africa and elsewhere in India, on hybrid, in-person and online programmes.

Where a child or adult needs psychiatric input, we work with Sukoon across Delhi NCR for psychiatric assessment, consultation and medication management, so you are not left to find a psychiatrist yourself.

Fees and how it is reviewed

Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call, itemised by what the plan actually contains rather than as a bundle.

Plans are reviewed on a set date against the written baseline. The measure that matters is not how many disciplines are involved but whether the specific things you came about have changed.
