What Parents Say

Real stories from families who found hope, support, and meaningful growth.

Finding the right support for a child with Down syndrome makes all the difference, and we found that at Jeet Child Development Center. After three years of continuous occupational therapy, we have seen immense growth in our son's daily skills and confidence. Dr. Sharuja and her team are exceptionally skilled, deeply compassionate, and completely invested in every child's success.

Mother of Anup Mehta

Three years of growth in daily skills and confidence

We are very happy with the progress Mehaan has made through occupational therapy at JEET CDC. Since starting therapy with Dr. Sharuja, he has become calmer, more attentive, and listens to instructions much better. We are grateful for the care, patience, and support provided throughout his journey.

Mother of Mehaan Gandhi

Calmer, more attentive, and following instructions better

My son is on the autism spectrum, and we have been taking occupational therapy sessions with Dr. Sharuja for the last 4.5 years. The doctor, her team of trained therapists, and the supporting staff are all helpful, co-operative, and very motivating. They try their best to make my child independent in every way — and they counsel us parents too, giving us the confidence to face the social world outside. Whenever my son enters the session room, he is greeted with a sweet smile and a peppy hello to lift his mood. Me and my child are lucky to have them.
