• We had a very difficult time in accepting that our 2 year old son, Devharsh is autistic. We had never heard about this disorder before and it hit us quite hard.

  The knowledge about the problem made things even more difficult in the following year. Devharsh's hyperactivity, therapy and home program was difficult to adjust to and progress was very slow.

  We met Dr. Reena Singh a year ago as a specialist for this disorder. What helped more than anything after meeting her was that she helped us cope and overcome our "mental demons". Like other therapists, she did not give us any anxiety or left us confused. It was not that there was any special psychiatric advice given to fight the stress but her perseverance and caring attitude towards Dev was what made the difference. Dev accepted her instantly and though cried a lot throughout the sessions also complied with her. The work became more enjoyable to him and us. We learned to teach him while playing and accepting him and his ways as normal. The energy spent in trying to fix the behavior is now backed by understanding why the behavior happens. And since we understand and we respond appropriately, we get him to conform better. Our child is truly extraordinary and we merely are helping him like all other parents to get him to do things to the best of his abilities.

• I am the mother of a seven year old autistic boy, Aadi. Aadi was diagnosed at two and a half years and since then he has been going to Reena Singh for speech and occupational therapy since then. Besides being a good therapist, Reena is also very dedicated to her work, very organized in her approach and she also keeps her knowledge updated from time to time. Above all, she is a very nice and friendly person who loves children. I wish her all the best.
  
  
• We were very depressed after our only child of diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. This happened after we consulted some doctors at Mumbai when our child was not speaking up to 3 years of age and not interacting socially in proper manner. We felt that our world is lost and no hope for us anywhere. We thought that we must give a try and started scouting for professionals who can help us. Then we met Dr. Reena Singh who is an occupational therapist through reference of Dr. Vibha Krishna Murthy. The first thing Reena did was to motivate us that all is not lost and things can improve if we work properly and work hard. She gave a lot of case references to motivate us in the first meeting. We thought that in any case we don't have any thing to loose so let's give it a try and started to go to her for therapy. It started with twice a week and we could see dramatic improvements in first two-three months. Then it became once a week and latter on once in fifteen day. We went through the treatment for almost one year and let me tell you all that people even don't notice his autistic behavior in spite of lots of interactions. He speaks properly, interacts with his friends in normal manner, behaves properly in school and does well too. This journey of 10% Normal to 95% normal for our son would not have been possible without Dr. Reena's support and professional help. Though a lot of credit to the mother also as she worked very hard on follow ups and home schedules suggested by Dr. Reena. Lastly would like to say to all parents that don't loose hope as anything is possible with right professional advice and support and sincere hard work.
