Orchid Care home and rehabilitation center is a pediatric rehabilitation center for young children aged 18 months to 6 years with autism and other developmental needs. We provide a multidisciplinary approach that brings together therapy, education and family support to help children with autism and developmental needs communicate, learn, participate and become independent.
Orchid provides autism-focused early intervention and pediatric rehabilitation in a coordinated setting. Our therapists and educators work together to understand each child's strengths, developmental needs and challenges, and to set practical goals that are meaningful for the child and family. We work on skills that children use every day, from communicating and playing to following routines, learning, eating, dressing, toileting and participating in classroom activities.
To become a leading center of excellence in rehabilitation and early intervention services in Nepal, enabling children with developmental challenges to reach their fullest potential and lead meaningful, inclusive lives.
To provide comprehensive, evidence-based and family-centered rehabilitation services through multidisciplinary collaboration, promoting independence, participation and improved quality of life for children with developmental and rehabilitation needs.
Respect: Every child deserves dignity, patience, and to be understood.
Individuality: A diagnosis does not define a child’s complete needs, strengths or personality.
Communication: Communication is more than spoken words and every meaningful form of communication matters.
Participation: Skills matter most when children can use them in everyday life.
Family Partnership: Parents and caregivers are important members of the child’s support team.
Professional Responsibility: We avoid guarantees and build support around assessment, observation, goals and ongoing review.
Understand → Plan → Intervene → Review
1. Understand: We begin by understanding the child, not just a diagnosis. We look at communication, behavior, sensory processing, motor development, learning, independence, social interaction and family priorities.
2. Plan: Based on the child’s needs, we establish meaningful and measurable goals.
3. Intervene: Our therapists and educators work with the child through structured intervention, play, classroom activities and everyday routines.
4. Review: Children develop over time, and their goals need to change with them. We review progress and adjust intervention accordingly.
Parents are not visitors at Orchid. They are part of the team.
We encourage parents and caregivers to understand:
We also provide opportunities for parent education, feedback and training. Because intervention becomes more meaningful when the people who know the child best are involved.

If you are noticing that your child is communicating differently, not reaching expected developmental milestones, struggling with interaction, showing significant sensory differences, experiencing challenging behaviors, or having difficulty participating in everyday activities, you can talk to us.
You don't need to know which therapy your child needs before contacting Orchid. That is something we can help you understand.
