About CRIA Foundation

CRIA Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting individuals with neurodiverse needs across India. Through compassionate, evidence-based practices, we empower children, families, and communities to thrive.

Our work is grounded in the principles of Acceptance, Respect, and Compassion (A.R.C.) — a framework that guides every intervention, program, and relationship we build. We believe that when science meets empathy, meaningful change becomes possible.

Our Mission

To practice and promote joyful, effective teaching and learning strategies that enrich lives, celebrate neurodiversity, and help every individual reach their fullest potential.

What We Do

CRIA Foundation delivers comprehensive autism support through early intervention, structured therapy programs, special education, and personalised family guidance. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with parents and caregivers to design individualised support plans tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs.

Beyond direct intervention, we invest in community awareness, professional counselling, and outreach initiatives — fostering a more inclusive and informed society for children with autism and their families.

Our Approach

Every action we take is oriented toward meaningful outcomes. We prioritise safety, guided intervention, and the dignity of every individual we serve. By combining rigorous scientific methods with warmth and care, CRIA Foundation stands as a trusted partner in neurodiversity care across India.

TESTIMONIALS

What our Parents Say?

There were days when it seemed that he wasn't listening. Some days he just ran away. You have loved him during all of this and understood and guided him during his difficult days. You listened to me and my concerns. You changed my child's life. ABA strategies made a DIFFERENCE

Parent

★★★★★

ABA has worked wonders on our child and showed us light at the end of the tunnel. With the help of ABA strategies, our child can join the dots and understands and interacts and learns happily. It is indeed a therapy for our souls.

Parent

★★★★★

My son found not just a therapist and counsellor but also a shadow parent in the team of CRIA when we enrolled him for Bridge sessions. Personal care, attention to detail and regular counselling helped us understand the complexity and thereby the ask for our child at a time when we needed the most. Timely interventions have helped and guided us over the years, and I would humbly admit it's the foundation that has been set right for him now, thanks to CRIA

Parent

★★★★★

We have been observing positive changes in our child over the past few months, and we are truly grateful to the CRIA Foundation team for their dedicated efforts. Meltdowns have reduced, listening skills have improved, and there is noticeable calmness even without medication. Our child is learning to understand others’ perspectives and manage emotions better. We know this is a long journey, but the encouragement and professionalism of the team give us hope and confidence. We are thankful to be connected with CRIA Foundation.
