We collaborate with our certified partner, AUTISM & ADHD CIRCLE, to provide these assessments at our premises and refer families for further diagnostic procedures as needed.
NeuroNest offers visits to schools or preschools to observe children in their everyday learning environments. This approach helps gather valuable insights into how a child interacts with peers and educators.
NeuroNest offers a detailed developmental assessment covering cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language skills. Based on the findings, we design a personalised support plan using evidence-based strategies.

Our work is evidence-informed, practical, and child-centred, with each programme tailored to the child’s developmental profile, strengths, needs, and readiness.
