A learning disability assessment in Vasant Kunj answers a narrow, testable question: is a specific academic skill out of step with everything else this person can do? The centre is in Vasant Kunj itself. It matters when you start, because exam boards set their own deadlines for accommodations and they fall well before the exam.

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.
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.
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.
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
Vasant Kunj brings the most curriculum-varied caseload: IB, IGCSE, CBSE and American systems, each with its own accommodations machinery and its own paperwork. Knowing which system a report has to satisfy changes how it is written.
The other distinctive pattern is students who have changed curriculum mid-school, where a genuine learning difficulty and an ordinary transition problem look very similar for the first year.
Who you would see at our Vasant Kunj 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 Vasant Kunj 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.
Mannat Kaur Arora, Psychologist
Professional Diploma in Clinical Psychology from Amity University Haryana and an MA in Psychology from the University of Delhi. Assessment across MISIC, WISC-IV, Conners 3, CBCL, ISAA, CARS and the NIMHANS SLD battery. Works in English and Hindi.
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 Vasant Kunj a good deal of this work reaches us through schools and universities rather than directly, and those routes are worth knowing.
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.
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.
Since 2025 Ashoka University in Sonepat has referred students to us for psychoeducational and cognitive assessment, and for neurodiversity assessment covering autism and ADHD.
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
It changes how it is written. IB, IGCSE, CBSE and American systems each have their own accommodations machinery, and a report has to satisfy the one you are in.
It might. A genuine learning difficulty and an ordinary curriculum transition look very similar for the first year, and separating them is part of the work here.
