About Hope Therapies

Hope, The Centre for Child Development and Therapies was established on July 2017 under SSF (S.Suseelan foundation) aiming at child development with multidisciplinary approach.

Hope is the dream come true for Soya Suseelan , Sensory integration therapist as well as the Director of the institute, who started this institute as the wish fulfillment of her late father S.Suseelan, who was a great visionary, politician, social-worker and above this a great human being.

Hope which is in the Trivandrum city, provide services for students educator and parents, in an aim to develop each student’s academic, social potential and to over come development delays and learning difficulties.

Hope, The Center for child development and therapies provides a holistic therapy plan according to each child’s requirement. Hope believes that early intervention with correct therapy procedure can help any child to function appropriately in the society. As every child is different and special like that every child’s therapy plan is also different.

The first step is ‘consultation’ in which the child’s information is gathered from the parent or guardian, on the basis of this information the assessment is carried out. After the detailed assessment that comprises of psychological, occupational and speech evaluation is carried out with standardised test material. After the assessment is done detailed report is made along with individualized education programme (IEP). Then report is hand overed to parents and future therapy plan is discussed. After every one month evaluation is done and child’s progress is noted and after every three months detailed assessment is carried out to measure the progress of the child. Hope focuses on standardized assessment tools and therapies techniques to identify, modify the functioning of the child.

S Suseelan Foundation

SSF was formed on 2015 in the memory of beloved S.Suseelan. SSF was formed with the aim to serve the society and to remember his presence in our day to day life. S Suseelan when he was a teacher, he felt that the children who were academically backward were not backward or slow on other sphere of life. He thought that there must be some other ways to teach those children due to limited knowledge regarding this area and his passion for politics and social welfare he could not focus on the issues regarding child development. To give life to his thoughts, SSF took initiative to start a centre for children who needs special care with HOPE. Hope, the centre for child development and therapies, provides multi disciplinary services to children under one roof. Hope has a holistic approach to handle and manage the child development cases. SSF wants Hope to flourish and become a renowned not only in the city but also in state. SSF provide all the support and wishes to HOPE.

Director’s Message

“Learn Do Achieve”

Today’s scenario of mental health has changed from previous decade. New technologies and techniques have been implemented and new initiatives from government have also been taken to the direction of mental health. But child mental health, mental condition or so to say childhood disorder that can be by nature or nurture is still a new field for everyone. As a professional Sensory Integration Therapist I have seen many children who could lead a normal life led a life of misery just because of lack of awareness or lack of facilities.

For parents it’s very important to know the condition of their children. Parents needs to be aware about every small changes that a child under goes. We as professional dealing with children, teachers and parents needs to understand the shortcomings or difficulties a child is going through. It’s our duty to uplift every child so that they can achieve their full potential. In Each child there is a marvelous creative potential that need to be discovered and used for a happier and more productive life. As students your success in life will depend on your outlook to life. If you have the right attitude, no matter how difficult or tedious the task, however big the hurdles on our way may be, you shall surpass them. Milton was blind, Napoleon was afflicted with skin disease, Julius Caesar suffered epilepsy, and Beethoven and Byron were deaf! Yet all of them succeeded in their lives. Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of the electric bulb, failed nine hundred times in his experiments before he succeeded in his invention of the electric bulb.

At Hope with highly qualified and well experienced team work together to help the child to bring the best out of the child. Hope is a trusted place for special needs children, by their parents. We have opened our doors for special children, who taught us many important lessons of life, brought smile on our face, amazed us, and gave us unconditional love. We have learnt over time that- challenges are what make life interesting, and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. Hope is a place where we see every child as an individual. We celebrate difference

I feel proud today to say that we are now Trivandrum’s leading and most respected Special Needs Centers and it is only because of our amazing team of professionals, who work passionately to teach our children the way they learn.

I thank all you parents for trusting us and giving us an opportunity to try to make a difference in your child’s life.
