Autism is an endless sensory issue that puts the futures of young children into question, causing endless anguish to their parents and families. The only path for such children are therapy services.
In the metropolis of Hyderabad, it has come to light late that officials have been raiding some unrecognized autism child development and rehabilitation centers in areas like Kukatpally, Suchitra BK guda dilsukhnagar over the past two to three days. Sensory issues, developmental delays, and mental challenges in young children require scientifically approved therapies. Many experts have warned about this repeatedly.
Under Sec-52 RPWD Act 2016, registration is mandatory for centers and therapies must align accordingly. Officials have also made it clear. Without proper understanding, therapies under the name of therapy can have disastrous effects on children's futures - worried parents understand this.
Experts and parents have requested appropriate action against such illegal centers, and officials have reportedly begun raids based on these requests.
According to official estimates, telangana has 5 lakh autistic children that require government assistance. Since no government facility can meet these kids' demands, private clinics bill parents fees ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 50,000 each month.
