PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Our Psychology department focuses on psychotherapy for young children, teens, and adolescents with one or more mental illnesses. The goal of our psychological department is to provide aid to children who have Autism spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Learning difficulties, Intellectual Disability, Down syndrome, Developmental Delay, Cerebral Palsy, and other neurological conditions.
​
We offer:
Counselling services
Counselling is a process where the parent/ primary caregivers meet with a trained professional (Psychologist/social worker) to talk about the issues and problem that they are facing in their lives. It is a confidential and non-judgemental process, which helps to gain clarity, insight and to achieve desired outcomes. Family counselling, adolescent counseling are also available at the centre. Awareness programs are also held on various topics to help parents.
​
IQ Testing / Assessment
The Intelligence Quotient is an assessment that measures a range of cognitive abilities and provides a score that is intended to serve as a measure of an individual’s intellectual abilities and potential.
Blossom Valley offers an opportunity to get assessments for your child to gauge their intelligence, social maturity, mental age etc. The assessments used at the centre include Seguin Form Board Test, Binet Kamat Test, Standard Progressive Matrices, Vineland Social Maturity Scale, development screening tests etc. A detailed report will also be provided following the assessments.
​
Parental Guidance
We recognise that as a parent, raising a child with special needs could be a handful. It is important to realise when it is time to reach out for help. Parents can reach out and get the help that they deserve at the centre. Techniques such as Cognitive Behaviour therapy, relaxation training, guided imagery can be used to help parents who may be experiencing feelings of anxiety and low mood. Confidentiality would be of utmost importance and would be maintained. Parents tend to be the first teachers for the children,
hence it is important to keep the mental health of parents in check. It is important to recognise when one may feel low, feel irritable, and feel like nothing is going their way, these maybe signs that one need help. Psychoeducation is a must for the parents in order to understand the condition of the child. It may be difficult as parents to deal with a diagnosis.
