Spectrum Hearts Autism Centre

Spectrum Hearts is the flagship initiative of the Nihal Veliyil Foundation — a dedicated centre where children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental challenges receive comprehensive support under one roof.

Founded in September 2025, Spectrum Hearts has grown from 30 children to more than 200 families, all served through a non-payment voucher model that ensures no child is denied care due to financial limitations.
