Treatment cost
We do not publish a price for autism & asd treatment, and that is deliberate. AVN Arogya does not use fixed protocols — the treating physician designs each programme individually, and it is that protocol which determines the cost.
It is only at the end of your consultation that the physician can say which kind of care you actually need:
- Outpatient — medicines to take at home, with review visits. The least involved option, and for many people it is enough.
- Visiting therapy — you come in for therapy sessions over a period and return home the same day.
- Inpatient admission — you stay with us for intensive daily therapy. Here the estimate also depends on the duration the physician recommends and the room category you choose.
Once those are decided we give you a written estimate for your own plan, including what your insurance is likely to cover. Quoting a figure before the assessment would mean quoting one that may not apply to you.

Autism & ASD — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. At AVN Arogya, Ayurvedic treatment is offered as a complementary approach to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our programme may include personalised Ayurvedic therapies, Panchakarma procedures, internal medicines, dietary guidance, and sensory integration support based on the child's individual needs. Treatment is provided alongside occupational therapy, speech therapy, behavioural therapy, and educational interventions, not as a replacement. The goal is to support improvements in communication, social interaction, sensory processing, behaviour, and overall quality of life. Progress varies from child to child and is usually gradual, requiring consistent treatment and active family participation. For a personalised assessment and treatment plan, please schedule a consultation with our paediatric Ayurveda specialists by contacting our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
Early intervention is recommended, as a child's developing brain has greater neuroplasticity, which supports learning and development. At AVN Arogya, we generally treat children from 2 years of age onwards. However, there is no upper age limit, and adolescents and young adults may also benefit from an individualised treatment programme. The first step is a comprehensive assessment by our senior physicians to understand your child's developmental profile, strengths, and areas that need support. Based on this evaluation, we design a personalised treatment plan that is appropriate for the child's age, condition, and ability to participate. For a personalised assessment and treatment plan, please contact our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
At AVN Arogya, Ayurvedic treatment for cerebral palsy is designed to support the child's overall development by reducing muscle stiffness (spasticity), improving muscle strength, enhancing mobility, and promoting better functional independence. The treatment plan may include personalised Ayurvedic therapies, specialised oil massages, Panchakarma procedures, internal medicines, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercises based on the child's condition. Treatment is provided alongside the care of paediatric neurologists, physiotherapists, and other rehabilitation specialists, not as a replacement. The extent of improvement varies depending on the type and severity of cerebral palsy, the child's age, and consistency of treatment. Our goal is to help every child achieve their maximum functional potential and improve their quality of life. For a personalised assessment, please contact our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
Yes. At AVN Arogya, Ayurvedic treatment is offered as a complementary approach to help manage symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. Treatment may include personalised Ayurvedic therapies, internal medicines, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to the child's individual needs. Parents are also guided on establishing structured daily routines that support learning and behaviour. Ayurvedic treatment is provided alongside conventional ADHD treatment, not as a replacement. Any changes to prescribed ADHD medications should be made only under the guidance of the treating paediatrician or psychiatrist. Progress varies from child to child and usually requires consistent treatment and family involvement over several months. For a personalised assessment, please schedule a consultation by contacting our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
The long-term outlook depends on your child's condition, its severity, and how early treatment and rehabilitation begin. Many children with autism, ADHD, and mild developmental delays can achieve a high degree of independence with appropriate intervention, while children with cerebral palsy or Down syndrome may require varying levels of ongoing support. At AVN Arogya, we believe that early and consistent intervention can make a meaningful difference in a child's development and quality of life. Our integrated approach combines Ayurvedic treatment, rehabilitation therapies, and guidance for parents to help each child reach their maximum potential. We set realistic, measurable goals and regularly monitor progress, providing honest guidance throughout your child's treatment journey. For a personalised assessment, please contact our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
No. Most developmental and neurological conditions, such as autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, and Down syndrome, are caused by complex genetic, neurological, or prenatal factors that are beyond a parent's control. Parents should not blame themselves for their child's condition. The most important step is early identification and timely intervention. Appropriate treatment, therapy, and family support can help children achieve their maximum potential and improve their quality of life. At AVN Arogya, we work closely with families to develop an individualised treatment and rehabilitation plan while guiding parents on how they can actively support their child's progress at home. For a personalised consultation, please contact our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
We understand that cost is a significant concern for families seeking treatment for their child's developmental condition. Here is a transparent breakdown: Consultation: - Senior Consultant Physician consultation: ₹500 by video, ₹300 in person. Developmental cases are assessed by our senior specialists who have extensive experience with paediatric neurological and developmental conditions. Outpatient (OP) therapy: - Typical course: 14-21 days of daily therapy sessions. - Costs depend on the specific therapies prescribed for your child — this varies based on the condition and its severity. Inpatient (IP) programme: - Duration: 14-21 days - Cost: INR 6,000-19,000 per day, all inclusive, depending on the room category chosen. - Follow-up courses may be recommended every 3-6 months depending on your child's response and condition. Insurance: Some health insurance policies cover inpatient Ayurvedic treatment for paediatric neurological conditions. Coverage varies by policy — check with our insurance desk with your policy details, and we can help verify what is covered. At AVN Arogya, with over 96 years of serving patients, we believe that financial concerns should not prevent a child from receiving treatment. Our team will discuss the most cost-effective treatment plan for your child's specific needs during the initial consultation.
The amount of school your child misses depends on the treatment plan. For outpatient (OP) treatment, therapy sessions can often be scheduled before or after school hours, and many families choose to begin treatment during school holidays to minimise disruption. If inpatient (IP) treatment is recommended, your child will usually need to stay in the hospital for 14–21 days. Whenever possible, families may plan the admission during vacation periods. We can also provide a medical certificate or treatment letter for the school, if required. After the intensive treatment phase, medicines and home exercises can usually be continued without affecting regular school attendance. Our team will work with you to plan your child's treatment while keeping educational commitments in mind. For more information, please contact our Customer Care Team at +91 95002 92220.
