COMMON CONCERNS

Questions parents often bring to us

Every child develops in their own way. These are some of the concerns families come to CBT2 with, and noticing them early is a strength.

The school has raised concerns about attention, behaviour, or learning.

Meltdowns feel more frequent or harder to calm than before.

Speech, play, or milestones seem later than children of the same age.

You have been advised to wait and watch, but would prefer clarity now.

You want to understand whether it is ADHD, Autism, or simply your child's own pace.

Sensory Issues
Frequent Meltdowns
Unusual Interests
Difficulty Sustaining Attention

BMSI: Behavior Modification and School Integration

Invented by Dr. Anupama Maruvada in 2008, BMSI helps children with developmental delays functionally reverse those symptoms through early intervention using cognitive behavior therapy. And because she invented the methodology, you will not find BMSI anywhere else. Its inventor leads every program here.

Invented in 2008 Developed by Dr. Anupama, Founder and Clinical Director of CBT2, and refined over 18 years of practice.
Measured on CARS Progress is tracked on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, so you see your child's change in numbers, not vague impressions.
School as the goal The program is built around one outcome parents care about most: your child integrating into a regular school.

Reviews shared publicly by parents, reproduced word for word.

★★★★★
VERIFIED PUBLIC REVIEW

"We came to CBT2 when our son was three and a half, with ASD and a high CARS score. Dr. Anupama explained his condition clearly and gave us a real plan. Through COVID she never paused the therapy, continuing over the phone. He got school admission in December 2021 and has progressed beautifully in academics. We recommend CBT2 wholeheartedly."

VERIFIED PUBLIC REVIEW

"Before taking us on, they explained the full roadmap and prepared us for the journey ahead. We chose remote therapy because of the commute, and the therapists guided us well at every step. The parent training was invaluable. We saw improvement in everything: fine and gross motor skills, emotional and social development, and academics."

VERIFIED PUBLIC REVIEW

"We visited Dr. Anupama four years ago for my son's hyperactivity. She invested real time in understanding the problem before defining the treatment, and her techniques helped us see him settle within a few weeks. Today he is very stable and excelling in academics and other activities. Thank you, Dr. Anupama."

★★★★★
VERIFIED PUBLIC REVIEW

"Our son was diagnosed with mild autism at five. He attended the CBT2 child behaviour therapy program for 15 months. He is now considered a typical child and is joining a regular school, officially out of the spectrum. We are beyond grateful to Dr. Anupama and her team, and fully recommend CBT2 to any parent of a child with behavioural concerns."
