Kolkata, (West Bengal), [India], September 10, 2024: In 2019, Kolkata became home to a groundbreaking initiative—Nabajatak Child Development Centre. Founded by a dedicated team of doctors—Dr. Anjan Bhattacharya, Dr. Sunita Agarwal, Dr. Jewel Chakraborty, and Dr. Asimayan Nandi. The center is now Eastern India’s first multidisciplinary facility committed to transforming the lives of children with Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
At the heart of Nabajatak’s success is its unwavering belief in the power of early intervention. The center has developed a holistic approach that combines expert clinical consultation with a diverse range of therapies, ensuring that each child receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.

From the very first consultation, families experience Nabajatak’s distinctive model of care—one that not only addresses the child’s developmental challenges but also empowers parents through training and counseling. The bio-psycho-social model, a cornerstone of the center’s approach, ensures that the child’s emotional, psychological, and physical development is nurtured every step of the way.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Child Development
Nabajatak stands out for its comprehensive list of services that go beyond conventional treatment. With early intervention led by Development Pediatricians, the center integrates various specialized therapies including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Vision Therapy, and Speech and Language Therapy with Prelinguistics. These interventions help children overcome developmental hurdles, ensuring they can lead fulfilling lives.
But Nabajatak doesn’t stop there. Their programs extend into areas not often explored by traditional therapy centers—like martial arts for development, dietetics, and parent training programs that guide families in understanding and supporting their child’s progress.
The center also places great emphasis on academics, career counseling, and research opportunities. Nabajatak isn’t just helping children adapt to the world; they’re equipping them for success, ensuring that students and interns alike have access to international exposure and hands-on learning experiences.
Bringing Hope Through Early Intervention
One of Nabajatak’s greatest contributions is its work in early intervention. The earlier a child with neurodevelopmental disabilities receives support, the higher the chances of building a brighter future. Nabajatak’s multidisciplinary team works tirelessly to increase the likelihood of children with Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders integrating successfully into mainstream society.
For parents navigating the challenges of raising a child with Autism, Nabajatak offers not just hope but a roadmap. The center’s approach has already changed countless lives, bringing smiles to families and paving the way for children to reach their fullest potential.
Looking Ahead
Nabajatak’s work has only just begun. With its eye set on continued research, international collaborations, and further development in therapeutic services, the center is a hope for many families. The future is bright, and with Nabajatak’s support, so too are the futures of the children in their care.
