Sethu Centre for Child Development & Family Guidance, Goa - India Sethu is a charitable trust for child development and family guidance in Goa, India.

Sethu is a charitable trust based in Goa, India, which helps children get the best out of their lives as they grow and develop. Sethu’s mission is to be a bridge between children and their families, their schools and their communities to foster their complete development through assessments, therapy, educational initiatives, training, awareness and capacity building. The Sethu Trust was formed in

June 2005 to provide services for children with developmental, behavioural, emotional and educational challenges. We are committed to the welfare of the young and believe that there is an immense need for a service-based organisation for children and their education, development and behaviour. Our conviction is that everyone who cares for children can work together sharing skills and knowledge – this is the bridge that Sethu embodies. It is because children have families, teachers, communities and other supports that Sethu can do its work. When we pool our diverse competencies and resources we can maximise our power to make this world more responsive to all children.

A child never comes to us alone.
Families bring knowledge, lived experience and an understanding of their child that is invaluable. Family-Centred Care means recognising that expertise and making families equal partners in the journey.

“It’s hard to pinpoint one favourite part of my journey at Sethu because every day brings a new experience, a new learning, and a new opportunity to grow. What I truly value is being encouraged to ask ‘WHY?’, reflect on our practice, and think beyond what we already know. Most of all, I value witnessing the small but meaningful changes in children and families and being part of their journey,” says Laxmi Jogdand, our Physiotherapist, who celebrates four years with us.

With her calm and quiet presence, Laxmi brings patience, care, and attention to detail to her work. She takes the time to understand each child and family, supporting them with a thoughtful and steady approach.

Congratulations, Laxmi, and thank you for all that you do.

We recently conducted a workshop at Green Meadows School for 52 educators on understanding and supporting neurodivergent learners.

Together, we explored autism, ADHD, meaningful participation, and practical ways to create classrooms where every child can participate, belong, and thrive.

Thank you to the Green Meadows School team for your openness, thoughtful discussions, and commitment to inclusion.

Arya Tivrekar, who recently completed her internship with us as part of her Master's programme at St. Xavier's College, Mapusa, shares how our strengths-based approach shaped her learning and perspective.

Hear her tell it.

“It's hard to choose just one favourite part of the journey, but I'd say it's seeing hope grow. Whether it's a child communicating in a new way, a parent feeling more confident, or a team member finding their passion, those moments remind me why this work matters,” says Andre, who celebrates 13 years with us as Head of AATISH, our autism programme.

Compassionate and thoughtful, Andre brings curiosity and a reflective approach to his work. His questions encourage us to think differently and keep improving the support we provide to children and families.

Congratulations, Andre, and thank you for all that you do.
