Testimonials
We travelled from the USA and did not want to stop my son's ABA therapy in India. I was so overwhelmed thinking about new set up and waiting time to start therapy. I started coordinating EAS from the USA only. I received very quick and prompt response from Amanda. After reaching India within a week I started my Son's ABA therapy at EAS.
The staff was so friendly & passionate about their work.
My son liked this place and learned so many new skills. They worked so hard on developing his skills. We observed he was well engaged with his therapist.
When we decided to move back to USA, we were so touched seeing personal bond they built.
My son Krishna, now 8 years old, was diagnosed at 4 with Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, part of the Autism Spectrum, where he progressively loses skills like speech, writing, social skills etc. apart from attendant health issues. After attending a lot of therapies and school, Krishna is now at EAS for the past 2.5 months. Recently, he has shown improved sitting tolerance, readiness to listen to instructions, and increased vocalizations.
My son has really shown a remarkable improvement after joining EAS.He was speaking in one or two words before joining EAS but after taking the ABA therapy at EAS he started showing improvement.He was trying to express himself & was talking in proper sentences. I would like to say a big thanks to all the therapists of EAS who have contributed in the development of my child & special thanks to Arati. I would surely recommend EAS to all parents who are looking out for ABA therapy & OT.
I am beyond grateful for the incredible progress my child has made at Early Autism Services. In just two months of ABA therapy, my child's development has exceeded all expectations.
1. Eye contact - average:
When my child started therapy,his eye contact was average. However, thanks to the dedicated therapists at Early Autism Services, my child's eye contact has improved significantly.
2. Respond to Name - Poor:
Responding to their name was a challenge for my child, but the therapists at Early Autism Services have been instrumental in addressing this.
3. Screaming more when I deny something:
Dealing with denial was a difficult situation for my child, often leading to increased instances of screaming. The therapists at Early Autism Services have been patient and understanding, working closely with my child to teach them alternative ways to cope with disappointment. As a result, the frequency of screaming has significantly reduced.
4. Speech Delay - No verbal:
Speech delay was a concern for my child, as he was non-verbal at the start of therapy. However, the therapists at Early Autism Services have been employing various techniques.
I am thrilled to share that my child has made progress, now able to express themselves by naming objects, counting from 1 to 20, and reciting the alphabet from A to Z.
Through their guidance, my child has developed better social communication skills, enabling them to interact more effectively with others.
We have been attending EAS for the past 15 months, and it has been a transformative experience for our child. EAS is one of the few places that implements ABA therapy correctly, and we have witnessed tremendous progress. In addition to ABA, we also enrolled in occupational therapy (OT) and speech therapy. Our child had been struggling with some developmental milestones, largely due to excessive screen time during COVID-19. However, since joining EAS, things have significantly improved. Here are some of the notable progress points we have seen in our child:
Constant eye contact, Responding to their name, Following one- to two-step instructions, Independently wearing pants, Progress in potty training, Pointing to indicate preferred items, Greeting others, sometimes even without a prompt, Eating independently
Accepting and tasting new textures and foods, Jumping, help and support in reducing screen time, No behavioural issues, Using signs, such as signing for 'more', Engaging in parallel play, Matching 3D objects, Completing puzzles, Feeling comfortable in a room full of people, Adjusting to various sounds in the environment. One of the main things we loved about EAS was also the daily home log and the tracker they kept apprising us about our child's progress which was extremely helpful.
We are extremely thankful to the EAS team, including Arati, Jijina, Angel, Vandana, and Shamik, for all their dedicated work and support.

I recently enrolled my son at the Early Autism Services Center, and I have been extremely pleased with the results. The ABA therapy provided is structured and effective, specifically tailored to my son's unique needs. Since starting therapy, we have seen significant improvements in his communication and behavior. All the therapists are professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. Anu, our primary therapist, has been particularly supportive and skilled in managing my son's challenging behaviors with patience and expertise. My child and she have a caring relationship that makes him feel safe, welcomed, and cherished.
