    At Ashish Centre she has learnt many things. We have seen a lot of improvement in her. Like how to walk and talk properly, to take care of herself and understand her well-being. I really want other parents also who are looking for a school for their autistic child, to consider Ashish Centre as a good option. I can say this confidently based on my experience of 14-15 years with them. Neha has gained a lot here. I will continue to be associated with them.
