Autism, Speech and Feeding Therapy for Children in Hyderabad and Online Globally
Beyond therapy. Building skills, supporting families, shaping futures.
You have seen something in your child that you can't explain: words that have not arrived, meals that end in tears, or a school report that does not match the child you know. Whatever brought you here, you do not have to work it out alone. At Daffodils we bring autism, speech, feeding, behaviour, occupational, and learning specialists together into one team, to give your child one clear plan rather than a series of disconnected appointments.Most families are offered a first appointment within five working days. No referral needed.

Meet the founder
Dr. Jyoshna Tanigundala
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, Child Psychologist, and Feeding Specialist
“Children must be understood before they are treated.”
Growing up among medical professionals, she listened to families in her father’s nursing home and learned early that a child must be seen as a whole individual within their family, not just a diagnosis. In 2015 she founded Daffodils so that no family would have to navigate their child’s development alone.
