Looking for the best autism centre in Dhaka for your child? Here are the questions to ask, the signs of good practice, and what to expect from the first visit.
When your child is diagnosed with autism, or you are worried about their development, choosing the right centre is one of the most important decisions you will make. There are many centres in Dhaka, and every family’s needs are different. The best autism centre for your child is the one that understands them, has the right therapies, and works closely with you.
Use this checklist when you visit or call a centre.
1. Does the centre start with a proper assessment?
Good support begins with understanding your child. Ask whether the centre assesses communication, behaviour, learning, movement and sensory needs before starting therapy, and whether you receive clear feedback and written goals.
2. Are the therapists trained and experienced with children?
Ask who will work with your child, what training they have, and how they are supervised. Experience with young children and autism matters as much as qualifications.
3. Is there a range of therapies under one roof?
Most children benefit from more than one kind of support, such as speech and language therapy, ABA and occupational therapy. A centre where therapists share notes and plan together saves you time and helps your child progress faster.
4. Is the plan individual?
No two children with autism are the same. Ask to see how goals are set and how progress is measured. You should know what your child is working on and why.
5. Are parents involved?
Children spend most of their time at home. The best centres coach parents, share progress regularly and give simple activities to practise between sessions.
6. Is the environment calm and child-friendly?
Look for clean, safe and sensory-friendly rooms: not too noisy, not too bright, with a quiet space for children who feel overwhelmed. Watch how staff speak to the children.
7. Is it practical for your family?
Regular attendance matters. Consider the location and travel time, session times, and whether fees are explained clearly before you begin.
