Core Energy Sources of CFA
The Soul
Initiative by Late Mrs. Nidhi Behal
The foundation stone of CFA was laid on 5th August 2020.
Care for Autism (CFA) has its roots embedded in the care and concern of a mother who wanted comprehensive treatment for her child with Autism under one roof. Late Mrs. Nidhi Behal, through this organization, gifted her child, Sayyam, and many other children like him the space where they can learn to live and love life.
CFA as Her Dream Project
Care for Autism was her dream and desire. She wanted an institute in Jalandhar, Punjab, for children with special needs that embraces all their requirements. The foundation stone of CFA was laid on 5th August 2020. The short period she knew she was left with after she was diagnosed with fourth-stage cancer surprisingly energized her to put her heart and soul into the starting of CFA.
Gradually, her health issues started worsening till she bid farewell to her family and beloved son Sayyam. Raghu Behal considering his wife’s dream as his priority and reason for existence started working on it. He dived into the project, intending to deliver the best to every child with special needs just the way his wife wanted.

The Body
Mr. Raghu Behal - Managing Director
It is a privilege for me to run an institute that aims, attempts and works to make life of special children better and independent.
I being the parent of special child very deeply understand the need of special children and a pain parent feels when he faces the dearth of adequate qualified professionals and other rehabilitative services. The shoe has pinched me and therefore I empathize with the pain of parents and attempt my level best to provide complete and comprehensive services to our children in the best possible ways.
The energy and inspiration that draws me to bring best of infrastructure, services, and staff at Care For Autism for special need children comes from my beloved soul mate Late Nidhi Behal. All she wanted was a unit that does its best for children with special needs and this has now become my sole motive and purpose of existence.
Care for Autism works with the vision of providing platform that caters to the comprehensive needs of our children. It includes Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Special Education and complete Psychological Services.
