A learning disability assessment in Noida answers a narrow, testable question: is a specific academic skill out of step with everything else this person can do? The short answer is our Malviya Nagar centre, because we do not have a centre in Noida. It matters when you start, because exam boards set their own deadlines for accommodations and they fall well before the exam.

How Noida families see us
We should be straight about this one: eMbrace has no centre in Noida. Our three centres are in Vasant Kunj, Malviya Nagar and Gurugram, and from most of Noida that is a genuine cross-city journey with a Blue Line to Yellow Line change at Rajiv Chowk.
So for most Noida families the sensible answer is online. Consultation, parent sessions, feedback appointments and a good deal of therapy run perfectly well over video, and it removes the part of the process that most often causes families to drop out, which is the travel.
Where an in-person appointment is genuinely necessary, and cognitive and psychoeducational assessment is the clearest case, we usually schedule it at Malviya Nagar and try to group the testing so you make the trip once rather than weekly. If your child is at school in south Delhi, that often works out easier than it sounds.
Two or three appointments, with the testing itself longer than for other assessments because reading, writing and mathematics each have to be measured properly. Timing is the thing to get right. If accommodations are the reason you are doing this, start at least a full academic year before the exam that matters, because board processes are slower than families expect and the deadline is rarely the one you assume.
On the occasions you do travel in for an in-person appointment, ask about parking and the nearest drop-off point on the intake call. Current directions from someone who works there beat anything we could fix on a web page.
When an assessment is worth doing
The pattern that warrants testing is unexpected underachievement: a child who understands the material in conversation, works as hard as their classmates or harder, and whose written output does not reflect either. What we are looking for is a specific gap, not general difficulty, and a large part of the work is ruling out the ordinary explanations first.
- Reading that is slow, effortful or inaccurate well past the age when it should have become automatic
- Spelling and written work far below the quality of the same child’s spoken answers
- Mathematics difficulty confined to number, where reasoning elsewhere is fine
- Vision, hearing, attendance, language of instruction and teaching quality all considered and excluded first
Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, exam accommodations and academic intervention each have their own page on our learning disabilities hub.
What the testing actually measures
Two things, held against each other. First, general cognitive ability, so we know what this person is capable of. Second, the specific academic skills, reading accuracy and speed, comprehension, spelling, written expression and number, measured individually rather than inferred from school marks. In India that commonly draws on the NIMHANS battery for specific learning disability alongside the Wechsler scales.
School evidence goes in too: exercise books, report cards and the observations of whoever teaches the subject. A report written without them is weaker, and boards notice.
What brings families here
Noida families face the one part of this that cannot be compressed: the academic testing has to be done in person, individually, and it takes time. There is no online version of measuring reading accuracy properly.
What we do is run the history and the feedback online and group the testing into as few visits as the student can manage in a sitting. Most Noida referrals are driven by board accommodations, which makes the timing conversation the first one we have.
Who you would see at our Malviya Nagar 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 Malviya Nagar centre, the clinicians who take this work are:
Taranpreet Kaur, Clinical Psychologist
M.Phil in Clinical Psychology with distinction, plus a Post Graduate Diploma in School Counselling from Symbiosis. ACT and MBCT for anxiety, depression, OCD and trauma, and comprehensive psychological assessment. Works in English, Hindi and Punjabi.
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
Around Noida a good deal of this work reaches us through schools and universities rather than directly, and those routes are worth knowing.
Since 2025 Ashoka University in Sonepat has referred students to us for psychoeducational and cognitive assessment, and for neurodiversity assessment covering autism and ADHD.
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.
Fees, the report, and exam accommodations
Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call as one piece of work covering testing, report and feedback. The report names the instruments, gives the scores, and states what accommodations the findings support in specific terms, because a vague recommendation is of no use to a school or a board.
On accommodations, which is why most families are here: schools will generally act on a good report for internal exams. Board accommodations, whether extra time, a scribe, a calculator or a language exemption, run through the board’s own certification process, which frequently involves a designated government centre and has a deadline. We tell you what your board requires and by when, on the intake call, before you spend anything.
Frequently asked questions
The history and the feedback, yes. The academic testing has to be in person and individual, because there is no online way to measure reading accuracy properly.
We group the testing into as few sittings as the student can manage, usually one or two, rather than spreading it across several appointments.
At least a full academic year before the exam. It is the first conversation we have with most Noida families, because it decides what is still possible.
No. Testing is at our Malviya Nagar centre in south Delhi, which is a Blue to Yellow Line change or a drive.
