"Hi, my son was 2.9 yrs when he joined Vistara. He was not having proper eye contact and was not playing or mingling with other kids and was very reluctant to go to crowded places. After an assessment with a team of members from his nursery at Dubai, they had advised me to see a behavioural paediatrician immediately. So we went to India and met Dr Lal for an assessment. The doctor was great, he spent very short time with the kid, however he was able to move on with him immediately, this was a surprise for me as my son takes more time to move with a new person at that time. We had assessment with another Centre too, however on seeing this we decided that we will place him in his training centre and we were right in our decision. My son was identified with ASD and sensory issues, so we started therapy classes at Vistara. Vistara, headed by Ms Sreekala is also the best I would say, with qualified, mainly friendly and caring therapists. They train the child in a very caring way. They provide home training techniques and routine doctor visits to improve the child effectively and track progress. My son was at Vistara for the past one year and he has improved a lot, he has a good eye contact, social smile, he is now going to crowded places like temples, malls, etc., better understanding and more non verbal interactions. He is now producing sounds and I hope he might start his verbal communication soon. So I really thank Ms Sreekala, Dr Lal and Vistara therapists for guiding me in a right way for moulding my son at this stage to explore his bright future ahead"
"Vistara is a good center for child development the good part is they share what has been done each day where as other centers do not maintain transparency. My kid don’t have any speech when joined now the kid has started speaking a little hopefully he should be fully ok soon."
"Result oriented service providing by Vistara team excellent counseling by doctor and awesome deliverance by Vistara staff’s Seen lot of improvements in short period and transparency service from Vistara. Earlier my son was having poor eye contact hyper active speech related issue now he is alright from all the issues thank you Vistara"
