About Us
We’re here to support every child’s unique journey — and empower the families who walk beside them
Supporting children with autism means nurturing lifelong growth, learning, and connection — every step of the way
Support for children with autism goes beyond early intervention — it’s about lifelong growth, learning, and connection. At Aadi Autism Foundation, we walk alongside families through every stage, offering personalized care through education, therapy, and community integration. Built on the foundation of Samarth Autism Centre, we ensure every child receives the tools and encouragement they need to thrive.
Founder and Director
Aadi Autism Foundation was built on the strong foundation of Samarth Autism Centre — a space that has supported children with autism and their families for years. Guided by deep experience and a vision for inclusive, lifelong care, our founder leads a team committed to empowering every child’s journey with empathy, expertise, and unwavering support.
Every child is capable of growth — when we meet them with patience, love, and the right support.

What parent say
Since diagnosis of my Son (Shiva), I was very upset untill we started taking sessions from Shweta Ma’am. I didn’t know how to start working with Shiva. She helped like handholding me in this journey. She plans the sessions in a well structured manner. It progresses smoothly from basics to advanced level as per the abilities of shiva. She listens and understands the parents problems very well and provide solutions in a very practical manner. Her guidance and support has been very helpful for us. We are impressed with the progress shiva has made academically. Thank you for your dedication and care, shweta Ma’am. Hats off to you ma’am!
