We understand you may have a tight budget or are unsure if online therapy will work for your child. This could make you anxious and add to your stress. We hear you. While an offline therapy session might be priced differently, online therapy saves you much more on travel time and its costs, while giving you access to the best Specialists from across the country. You can choose our monthly plans at a discounted rate and schedule sessions in a language and at a time convenient to you. To help you get started check our assessment tools. Remember, your first consultation is free

We understand your concerns over this. You wonder if your young child will sit through an online session, without the physical presence of a Specialist. Trust us on this one. Our Specialists evaluate your child’s sitting tolerance and slowly build on their ability to sit through a full session. They design their intervention plans around your child’s interests, needs and in a language that is native to them. They work hard to personalise materials that keep your child engaged and hold their attention. We’ve seen it work wonders for kids of all ages. Where else would you find a therapist, who makes a worksheet designed around Spiderman? Given that in-person therapy isn’t ideal in the current circumstances, our online sessions are accessible from the safety of your home, ensuring your child does not lose out on early and timely intervention.

Given that we conduct only online sessions, we currently do not recommend sessions for children younger than 3 years of age. However, you can reach out to us for parental support and guidance on how to help your child. Our counselling therapists can guide you on your first steps towards progress.

At Tactopus, we make it a priority to find you a therapist who is the right fit for your child. Taking into consideration your child’s needs, and your preferences for language, time slots, weekday or weekend sessions, our support team will find you the right Specialist. If for any reason, you need to change the Specialist assigned to you, you can let our support team know and they’ll help you with the process. 

While we conduct assessments and evaluations, these are not medical diagnoses. These assessments are available free of cost on our website and span across different developmental areas. They can indicate if your child needs further investigations and evaluations by a medical professional.  To help you with this, we also have partnered with developmental paediatricians from across the country that we can put you in touch with. Diagnosis or not, our specialists at Tactopus focus on the child’s symptoms, and needs and how to best help them reach their potential and overcome their challenges. By now, you know we mean it when we say, “we are with you, every step of the way”  

No, we don’t. All our sessions are conducted online, live and one-on-one. We truly believe that online sessions can provide the flexibility, accessibility and choice that in-person sessions just don’t accommodate. Given that in-person therapy isn’t ideal in the current circumstances, our online sessions are accessible from the safety of your home, ensuring your child does not lose out on early and timely intervention. 

Yes, absolutely. We understand the many responsibilities and roles you juggle as a parent. Accommodating your child and family’s schedule is important to us. This is why we let you have the most flexibility we can provide with choosing what days and times of the week work for you. We also understand that exigencies can arise and that you might need to reschedule sessions. With a little bit of notice time, we can help you with that as well. You can read more about it here.

It is difficult to say how long your child will need therapy right at the start. As children grow, so will their needs and capabilities. The main goal of therapy is to make your child independent, confident in their strengths and give them the tools to effectively manage their needs and our Specialists are committed to working with you for however long that takes. 

Trust us, we hear this a lot and trust us again when we say, leave it to our Specialists to figure it out. We understand your scepticism about the effectiveness of online sessions for your child who is always on the go. But our Specialists take time to know your child thoroughly even before they begin therapy. Sessions are built around their needs, abilities, interests and most of all their sitting tolerance. All our sessions are interactive, fun and engaging. Full sessions can be broken down into smaller segments to suit your child. Give the specialist and your child some time to figure things out and you will definitely see progress.

We are here to assure you that a diagnosis doesn’t define your child. Every child has the ability to learn, cope and thrive if given the right tools. At Tactopus, our Specialists work hard to tap into your child's abilities. We also identify areas of development your child needs help with and how we can guide them to bridge those gaps. With therapy, we aim to help our children overcome their challenges by giving them the right tools and strategies. 

When it comes to cancelling and rescheduling sessions, we offer parents plenty of flexibility. You can read more about it here.

Our programs include a variety of materials, sessions and benefits. All programs begin with a child specialist consultation and move on to  1-1 sessions with the child. Depending on the plan you choose, our programs offer personal monthly learning plans,  learning material such as flashcards, worksheets and activities,  family counselling sessions and a  relationship manager to help you with all your queries.
