Special Education in Gurgaon

Special education in Gurgaon is teaching, not therapy, and it is not tuition either. Tuition re-teaches the same material the same way, more slowly. Special education changes how it is taught, so that a child who cannot learn it one way can learn it another. The centre is in Gurgaon itself. Most of the work is done alongside a school rather than instead of one.

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.

Sessions run weekly or twice weekly, and unlike our therapy services a good deal of the value sits outside them, in what a school agrees to do differently. That means the liaison work matters as much as the teaching hours, and it is worth telling us on the intake call how willing your child’s school is to adapt, because it changes what we aim at.

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 special education is the right answer

It is the right answer when a child has the ability to learn the material and cannot access it the way it is being delivered. It is the wrong answer when the underlying issue has not been identified yet, which is why a good deal of this work follows an assessment rather than preceding one.

• Years of extra tuition that has not closed the gap
• An assessment identifying dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia or an intellectual disability, with nobody teaching to it
• A child falling further behind each year despite understanding the ideas when they are explained aloud
• A school willing to adapt but unsure what to actually change

How we work with schools directly is set out on our schools partnership hub.

How the work is planned

It starts with a written baseline of what a child can currently do, taken from testing and from their actual schoolwork rather than from marks. From that we write an individualised education plan: a small number of targets, the methods that will be used, and a date on which it is reviewed.

The teaching itself is structured and multisensory, particularly for literacy and number, which means material is presented through more than one channel and built in a deliberate sequence rather than assumed. Progress is measured against the plan, not against the class.

What the work looks like here

Gurugram families work with us on this service from the Delhi centres or online, and for special education the online arrangement holds up better than it does for the hands-on therapies.

What we see most from this catchment is children in schools that already have learning support teams, where our role is often less about teaching hours and more about writing a plan the school can run for the other four days.

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.

Our special education work is based at the Delhi centres rather than at Gurugram. Gurugram families either travel to Vasant Kunj, which is a straight run up the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road, or work with us online and through liaison with their school, which for this service carries more of the value than the room does.

Schools and services we already work with

This is the service where the schools we work with matter most, because most of the work happens in partnership with one. Around Gurgaon those include:

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

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, review, and working with the school

Fees are quoted upfront on your intake call and depend on frequency and on whether school liaison is part of the arrangement.

Plans are reviewed on a set date, usually each term, against the targets written at the start. Special education is slower than families hope: it is skill building, and skills accumulate rather than arrive. We would rather set that expectation at the beginning than have you judge the first term against a hope nobody stated out loud.
