Building confident communication, empathy, cooperation, and lasting friendships in a supportive peer group.
While individual therapy builds foundational skills, real-world socialization occurs in dynamic peer settings. Many children who communicate well with adults experience anxiety, isolation, or behavioral friction when surrounded by same-age peers.
At Trishaa Neuro Development Clinic, led by Dr. Ekta J Daftari, our Group Therapy programs match children in small cohorts (2 to 5 peers) first before transitioning to bigger groups. Guided by skilled therapists, children practice conversational turn-taking, team games, emotional perspective-taking, and conflict resolution in a safe, encouraging environment.
