Our Services & Supported Conditions
As detailed in our official clinical charter, Thulir brings together certified specialists across physical, sensory, speech, behavioral, and academic disciplines.
Therapies & Educational Services
Conditions & Needs We Support
Led by Dr. S. Venkatesan MOT, CSIT, CAS (Autism Specialist), our clinical team creates an individualized roadmap for each child's physical, behavioral, and sensory strengths.
Specialized Clinical Programs
Designed to support sensory regulation, functional communication, physical movement, and foundational academic learning.
Paediatric Occupational Therapy & Sensory Integration
Our paediatric occupational therapy department focuses on enabling children to engage meaningfully in everyday activities (occupations). Using evidence-informed Sensory Integration (Ayres SI) techniques, our certified paediatric occupational therapists create personalized sensory diets and structured play environments to help children regulate their sensory systems, develop fine motor coordination, and master daily self-care routines.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Sensory Integration (Ayres SI) swinging, suspended apparatus & tactile bins
- Fine motor precision, bilateral coordination, and pencil grasp development
- Motor planning (praxis) and spatial-body awareness exercises
- Self-regulation strategies and transition support for school and home
Speech & Communication Therapy
Communication is vital for self-expression, emotional well-being, and social interaction. Our pediatric speech-language therapists work with each child to nurture verbal speech, receptive understanding, or alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) tools tailored to their unique communication profile.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Oral-motor stimulation and speech articulation clarity
- Receptive and expressive language acquisition
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) cards and digital visual boards
- Social pragmatics, conversational turn-taking, and peer interactions
Pediatric Physiotherapy
Pediatric physiotherapy supports children in gaining strength, balance, and gross motor coordination. Our therapeutic exercises are adapted to developmental milestones, helping children participate more fully in classroom movements, outdoor play, and sports.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Postural control, stability, and trunk strengthening
- Gross motor milestones: sitting balance, crawling, standing, and gait training
- Muscle tone regulation and joint mobility facilitation
- Endurance building for active play and sports participation
Special Education & Individualized Education Programs (IEP)
Every child learns differently. Our Special Education department provides an individualized educational environment where students progress according to a personalized Individualized Education Program (IEP). Developed collaboratively with educators, pediatric therapists, and parents, each IEP outlines measurable academic, functional, and life skill objectives.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Structured TEACCH-adapted classrooms with predictable schedules and visual prompts
- Functional literacy, numeracy, and cognitive skill acquisition
- Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) reviewed quarterly with parents
- Pre-academic readiness for mainstream school integration where appropriate
Behavior Therapy & Emotional Regulation
Our Behavior Therapy program supports children facing behavioral challenges, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, or social difficulties. Using positive behavioral interventions and supportive modification strategies, our specialists work closely with children and families to reduce distress, foster emotional awareness, and build constructive coping habits.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) tailored to child triggers
- Emotional self-regulation techniques and visual calming schedules
- Social skills training, empathy development, and peer cooperation
- Parent coaching for consistent home behavioral reinforcement
Sensory Integration Therapy (Ayres SI)
Sensory Integration Therapy addresses sensory defensiveness, under-responsiveness, or seeking behaviors in children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Autism, and ADHD. Conducted in our fully-equipped sensory integration gym with swings, crash pads, and textured tactile media, sessions help organize the central nervous system.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Vestibular stimulation via multi-directional therapy swings
- Proprioceptive heavy-work exercises for body positioning and calming
- Tactile desensitization and sensory modulation pathways
- Individualized sensory diet programs for classroom and home
Neuro Developmental Therapy (NDT)
Neuro Developmental Therapy (NDT / Bobath approach) focuses on guiding posture and movement control through specialized handling techniques. Our trained pediatric therapists assist children with cerebral palsy, low muscle tone, and developmental motor impairments to achieve more efficient, voluntary motor patterns.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Facilitation of normal postural alignment and righting reactions
- Inhibition of abnormal reflex patterns and muscle hypertonicity
- Dynamic motor control during sitting, standing, and transfers
- Assistive positioning and adaptive seating optimization
Psychological Services & Developmental Assessment
Our Psychological Services provide compassionate psychological evaluations, developmental quotient screenings, and therapeutic counseling for children and parents. We help families understand developmental diagnoses including Autism Spectrum, ADHD, and Learning Difficulties, creating a clear roadmap for intervention.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Developmental Quotient (DQ) and psycho-educational diagnostic profiling
- Parent counseling, emotional support, and acceptance guidance
- Individual play-based counseling for anxiety and stress reduction
- Behavioral and emotional management workshops for families
Play, Art, Music & Dance Therapy
Children express and process emotions deeply through the arts. Our expressive arts therapy brings together therapeutic play, visual art, musical rhythm, and dance movement to stimulate sensory integration, motor coordination, and non-verbal communication in an uplifting, creative setting.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Rhythm and percussion instruments for bilateral coordination and auditory tracking
- Tactile art and finger painting for fine motor and emotional release
- Creative movement and dance therapy for body awareness and balance
- Interactive social group play building collaborative peer connections
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) & Life Skills Training
Empowering students to achieve meaningful independence in home and community settings. Our life skills program translates clinical gains into practical daily competence, encompassing hygiene, cooking basics, money handling, and safe community outings.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Self-care, dressing, buttoning, hygiene, and personal grooming routines

Pre-Vocational & Vocational Training
Our Pre-Vocational and Vocational Training prepares adolescent and young adult students with special needs for purposeful, dignified engagement in society. Through structured repetitive tasks, craftwork, packaging, digital entry, and workplace etiquette, students build stamina, responsibility, and proud vocational capability.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Handmade crafts, paper bag making, and packaging skills
- Assembly-line task sequencing, quality checking, and work endurance
- Workplace etiquette, time awareness, and cooperative peer teamwork
- Vocational placement exploration and sheltered workshop pathways
Early Intervention & Infant Stimulation
The earliest years are the most transformative for neurodevelopment. Our Early Intervention program partners closely with families of infants and toddlers experiencing developmental delays or neurodivergent traits to build a strong foundation of sensory, social, and motor capabilities.
Areas of Focus & Support:
- Multisensory stimulation and responsive caregiver-child bonding techniques
- Early communicative intent, eye contact, and vocalization reinforcement
- Tummy time, infant gross motor rolling, and milestone tracking
- Parent education workshops and home developmental activity toolkits
Walking Beside Families at Every Step
We believe that a child's primary sanctuary is their family. Rather than keeping therapy behind closed doors, Thulir welcomes parents into sessions to observe techniques firsthand. By providing clear guidance on sensory management, communication routines, and daily activities, we help families feel empowered, supported, and confident in their child's daily progress.
