About Us

Bubbles Learning & Activity Centre was established in 2003 with a small group of 4 children as an integrated pre-school program. With the increase in demand for services, we started three separate programs such as Early Intervention, Language through play & Social skill training program. Today, Bubbles Centre for Autism is a unit of Biswa Gouri Charitable Trust which provides educational programs for children with learning difficulties. The centre focusses on working with children in the Autism Spectrum and other neuro developmental disorders.

The Board of Trustees
Biswa Gouri Charitable Trust is honoured to have a select group of caring parent/professionals from diverse background who serve as honorary board members and offer their guidance and expertise to promote the organisation's mission and values. Although their knowledge and expertise is varied, they share a common passion of improving the lives of children and families affected by Autism.

Bubbles Learning Centre For Autism

The intent of creating an online space for Bubbles Learning Centre is to target a wider audience and to help autistic children reach us at a much earlier stage.

There are very few schools in Bangalore who cater to children with autism. We have very specific programs addressing each of their deficits in skills such as language and communication, play and social skills.

Apart from this, we run an early intervention programme where in skill training is given with a holistic approach.

In Bubbles, we ensure that the student-teacher ratio is small, typically around 1:2.

We lay emphasis on the overall development of the child and enable them to lead independent lives.

Parent empowerment, family counselling, training and their involvement is given major priority in the training process.

The purpose of the counselling sessions is to promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and economic well-being of families. The intent is to help the parents understand the full potential of their children and in training the children to achieve the same.
