Autism Day Program in Chennai: What to Expect

A day program is different from weekly therapy appointments. Here is what a structured day looks like, who benefits and what to ask before you choose one.

Some children need more than a few therapy sessions a week. A day program offers a structured, school-style day built around therapy and learning, all in one place.

What is an autism day program?

It is a full-day programme for children with autism, ADHD and developmental needs, where therapy, learning and activities fit into a consistent daily routine. Our KK Nagar day program runs from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM.

What a day can include

  • ABA behaviour therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Special education
  • Parent training
  • Brain gym
  • Music, dance and sports

How it differs from weekly therapy sessions

  • Structure: a consistent routine through the day rather than separate appointments.
  • Intensity: more time in a supported environment.
  • Integration: therapies are coordinated because the team works under one roof.
  • Convenience: one location instead of travelling between therapies.

Who may benefit

  • Children who benefit from a predictable routine
  • Children who need more support than a few weekly sessions
  • Families who want therapy and learning combined
  • Children preparing for school who need skills in a group setting

Questions to ask before choosing a day program

  • What does a typical day look like?
  • Who supervises the programme and how often are plans reviewed?
  • What is the staff to child ratio?
  • How are parents involved and updated?
  • Can my child attend part-time?
  • What are the fees, and what do they include?
  • How is progress measured?
