Metamorphosis

Brio Kids was born from a deeply personal journey, rooted in love, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to helping children with special needs thrive. In 2018, founders Dr. Soumya Ranjan Patnaik and Dr. Ananya Patnaik faced a life-changing moment when their son, at the tender age of three and a half, was diagnosed with mild autism. Like many parents, they encountered the challenges of navigating significant developmental delays—his struggles with non-verbal communication, comprehension, receptive skills, social interactions, and activities of daily living (ADL) weighed heavily on their hearts. What followed was a seven-year odyssey of parental research, countless sleepless nights, and an investment of thousands of hours and lakhs of rupees into finding the right resources to support their son’s growth.

Through trial, error, and tireless dedication, the Patnaiks explored every avenue—studying therapies, consulting experts, and implementing strategies that gradually brought remarkable improvements in their son’s behaviour, cognition, and communication. Each milestone, no matter how small, became a beacon of hope, lighting the way forward. They discovered the power of tailored interventions, empathetic care, and holistic approaches, and with every step, their vision grew clearer. Brio Kids, established in 2024, is the culmination of those transformative years—a sanctuary designed not just from professional expertise, but from the lived experience of parents who understand the journey intimately.

From humble beginnings, Brio Kids has blossomed into a thriving hub of learning and support, now serving over 50 families across India with comprehensive programs and a passionate team. Every resource, every therapy, and every smile shared within our walls reflects the lessons learned through those seven years of love and labour. The sleepless nights and sacrifices have become the foundation of a mission to ensure no family walks this path alone, offering hope and healing to children with unique abilities.
