What are common signs of social & behavioural difficulty in children?

Signs parents commonly describe include: few or no peer friendships; aggression, biting or hitting under stress; frequent meltdowns over small triggers; difficulty taking turns or sharing.

What outcomes do families work toward with social & behavioural difficulty?

Outcomes families pursue include: reduced aggression and meltdowns; better turn-taking and sharing; beginnings of peer friendships; calmer family life. Progress is tracked through measurable weekly signals, and IND does not guarantee specific results.

Can my child be evaluated online for social & behavioural difficulty?

Yes. Evaluation can start online, with an in-person assessment at IND's clinic in Sobhabazar, Kolkata when it helps. Book an appointment or talk to our assistant to begin.
