My grandson aged 6 years was very hyper. His movements were very fast with no proper eye contact. He was lacking in concentration. Even though we observed lot of differences in his approach to various things compared to his age, we were in dark to identify his exact problem. Ofcourse he completed LKG n UKG as there was no specific examinations. When we wanted to put him in 1std in a different school, he was denied admission both on academic n behavior grounds. We were shocked to get such response from school heads n finally we decided to put him again in UKG so that his base would be strong to copeup with higher classes. The concerned school principal as a blessing in disguise advised us to put him in some occupational n behavior therapy classes. When we were on the lookout of such an institute, we came to know about BUDS TO BLOSSOM through one known source. Immediately we approached this Clinic n the concerned doctor, Dr. Balaji was very kind enough in listening to our problem n had given his good time with us during the counselling session. Later on he advised us to put him on both Occupational Therapy n Special Educational classes. It's now nearly 4 months my grandson has been attending these classes regularly. Now we have noticed vast changes in his behavior n other counts. He is getting improved n developing himself to be on par with other children of his age. All these were made possible only because of Dr. Balaji's guidance of BUDS TO BLOSSOM n his dedicated team working in this clinic. I owe my sincere gratitude to Dr. Balaji sir n his staff for their sincere professional approach in bringing back my grandson to this stage. God bless them all
I'm happy to see the progress my son is making everyday. Six months back he was finding it to very hard to sit and his fine motor skills was not good. After taking sensory integration therapy his sitting tolerance has improved a lot. The calming techniques used helps to regulate him. He is showing a lot of facial reactions now .
He is able to trace lines and curves,use scissors on his own. He is able to wear and remove his own dress, Eats independently. Hats off to the therapist Dr Hemanth for his enthusiasm, hardwork and patience. Once therapist starts working on a skill my kid is able to generalise it in home, outside settings as well. I also appreciate Ms Kavitha for scheduling appointments promptly and keeping us informed about the changes.
Thank you very much Dr Balaji and Dr Hemanth for your excellent work. Keep up the good work!

Dr. Balaji is a very rare Gem who has devoted his life to help Special children to lead a normal life when they grow up. His personal care to each child with utmost sincerity and love really helps kids to come up and lead their life as a normal child. Words are insufficient to express my gratitude to him for the way he has helped my child since the age of 6 when I was taking my Son for Occupational Therapy. Even today when my Son is aged 16, I look upon him for guidance and support and I am proud to say my Son has grown up as a matured kid only because of him. My Son loves him a lot and always shares his thoughts freely and feels very safe and secured while interacting with him. Dr. Balaji is a very patient listener and gives the right direction and support depending upon the need of each child. God Bless him and his Team for their very noble work they do. ***

Pranav has made good progress in his communication skills after 5 weeks of speech therapy
We get feedback from the therapist on a daily basis
That helps us to plan the activities at home and check how he is using the skills he learned in the class
Therapist also discussed the goals on a weekly basis to inform the different areas they are focussing
we could also see therapist developed good rapport with Pranav
We expect improvements from the following areas in the near future
1. Pronunciation
2.Using phrases
3.initiating conversations
Overall we are satisfied with the progress Pranav made in the last 5 weeks

The doctor and his team were really excellent in handling the kids.They were so patient towards the kid and made sure the necessary therapy was given to them.Feed back was given to the parents every day at the end of the session which was really helpful for parents to have the knowledge what exactly is been worked on their kids.Doctor is approachable anytime and it helped the parents to discuss their worries and concerns regarding the child. The place is very neatly maintained and very child friendly.My son has shown tremendous improvement since he started. Love the staff dedication and the way to handle kids is really appreciable. The special education team is wonderful in their way of teaching the kids. They conduct home programs which can be practised at home by parents. Thanks so much for the wonderful team of professional s and Balaji doctor.

He always gives a review after each session and to our requirements. Our speech trainer Ms. Anitha is very friendly and very cooperative with our kid. She gives us the repetitive remainders of things to be done at home and class. Balaji sir is very approachable for any of our needs. A very satisfactory experience with buds and blossom

Bala works with my son on sensory integration and handwriting. He is very patient, kind and thoughtful in his approach to supporting my son, and they have a great rapport. At the end of each session he explains progress and what will continue to be worked on clearly. Our family is grateful to have found Bala and Buds to Blossoms.
