How it works
From first call to a plan you can follow.
Start with a free phone conversation. If a clinical visit is useful, we explain the appointment, price, and purpose before you book.
Consultation and assessment fees are explained before booking.
The path at a glance
Four decisions, made with you
First conversation
Tell us what you have noticed. This phone conversation is free.
Clinical visit, if useful
A consultation is ₹1,000. A detailed evaluation is separate and starts at ₹2,000; we explain its price before booking.
Plan that fits
If therapy is recommended, we agree goals, frequency, fees and home practice together.
Review and adjust
We review progress with you about every four months and change the plan when needed.

An illustrative example
How a worry becomes a goal we can review
Not every child follows this path, and no timing is fixed. Here is one way a plan can be written down.
- 01Starting point
What a parent might say
“At snack time, my child pulls my hand or points, but does not use words to ask. They get upset when I do not understand.”
- 02Written goal
What the plan might say
“By the next review, your child will ask for a wanted snack — using a word, a gesture, a picture, or a communication aid, whichever works for them — in a few everyday moments, with a little help to begin.”
- 03Everyday sign
What you might notice at home
Your child gets their message across in their own way, with less frustration and less help over time.
- 04About four months later
Review and adjust
You and the team look at how often your child asked and how much help was needed. The goal is kept, changed, or replaced.
An illustrative example only. It is not a real child’s outcome and not a promise of timing or results.
How long will this take?
Timing depends on your child and goals. We agree what to look for and review the plan about every four months.
Already further along
Already have a diagnosis or report?
Bring what you have. Existing findings are read before anyone suggests a new assessment.
- Bring any reports you have: a paediatrician, a school, a hospital, or another therapist.
- Tell us what has already been tried, and what changed or did not.
- We go through them with you and say what they do and do not answer.
- Then we decide together whether a consultation, a specific assessment, or support is the useful next step.
A new assessment, or more than one service, is not automatic. The team suggests only what the current picture needs. If Cornerstone is not the right place, it says so and suggests another direction where possible.
Where to go from here
Step one is a phone call. Ask about your child, the appointment, or the fee before deciding. The number is +91 70225 30530.
