In a lot of Ahmedabad households, the day doesn't run on one fixed shift - it runs around the family business. Parents step in and out of the shop, showroom or office through the day, grandparents are often closely involved in the child's actual day-to-day routine, and a fixed weekly clinic appointment across town can be the hardest commitment to keep consistently - not because the concern isn't a priority, but because the calendar genuinely doesn't bend that way. Gujarat's largest city runs on exactly this kind of layered, business-first household rhythm, and therapy that assumes a 9-to-5 family structure simply doesn't fit it well.
An online consultation is built to fit around that, not against it. Dr. Charu Arora, a pediatric occupational therapist and special educational needs consultant (M.O.T. Pediatrics), holds online consultations for families across India - including Ahmedabad - during the 9 AM-1:30 PM online consultation window, from wherever your child is most comfortable and whoever in the family is available to join.
Built around how Ahmedabad families actually run their week
A video session can happen from home, from a back office, or from wherever the family is that day - there's no commute added onto an already full day. And because so much of occupational therapy's real impact comes from what happens between sessions - the small daily-routine changes a parent or grandparent puts into practice - it helps that whoever is actually home with your child most of the day can join the session and hear the guidance directly, rather than it being relayed secondhand later.
Ahmedabad itself is spread wide - a family based off SG Highway, in Bodakdev or Satellite, has a genuinely different commute reality to one in Maninagar or Naranpura, and traffic between the two sides of the Sabarmati at peak hours can turn a short-looking distance into a long weekly trip. An online consultation removes that variable entirely: the session is the same length and quality wherever in the city, or wherever in Gujarat, you happen to be that week.
The full range of what we help with
Our online consultations from Ahmedabad cover: occupational therapy for autism, occupational therapy for ADHD, developmental delay, and support for children without a formal diagnosis whose parents already sense something needs attention. We also work on sensory processing, handwriting and fine motor skills, gross motor coordination, self-care and daily living skills, school readiness and play and social participation. Read more about the discipline itself on our occupational therapy page, and about how an online session is structured on our how online occupational therapy works page.
Getting started from Ahmedabad
Book directly through our book consultation page, where you can select an online consultation and share your preferred timing. Exact scheduling and pricing are confirmed with you individually, so you can weigh it against your own week before committing. The first session itself is a proper assessment, not a generic intake form - our first assessment page explains what's actually covered, so you know what to expect before your child's first video call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our week is genuinely unpredictable because of the family business - can appointments flex around that?
Scheduling is worked out directly with you when you book, within the 9 AM-1:30 PM online consultation window, so you can raise your timing constraints upfront rather than trying to fit an existing fixed slot.
My child is mostly looked after by grandparents during the day - can they join the session instead of us?
Yes. Whoever is most involved in your child's daily routine is welcome to join, since the home-programme guidance is most useful going directly to the person who'll actually be carrying it out day to day.
Do you work only with families within Ahmedabad city, or the wider region too?
Our online consultations are available to families anywhere in India, including across Gujarat, not just within Ahmedabad city limits.
If our schedule changes at the last minute because of the business, can we rework a session timing?
Speak with us directly about your scheduling constraints - we understand that a business-run household's calendar isn't always predictable, and we'll work within the online consultation window to find something realistic for your family.
