- Aaysha Khan: The Journey from Passion to Purpose
In the heart of Delhi NCR, a young and visionary occupational therapist is transforming the lives of children and families — meet Aaysha Khan, the founder of Unified Rehabilitation Centre.
With a deep-rooted passion for helping others, Aaysha’s journey began at Jamia Hamdard University, where she pursued her Bachelor’s in Occupational Therapy. During her academic years, she not only excelled in her studies but also immersed herself in clinical practice, research, and therapeutic innovation. From the start, her mission was clear: to create a space where therapy meets compassion, science, and family support.
Her 6-month clinical experience at Little Heart Special School shaped her holistic and family-centered approach. Coupled with certifications in CBT, Art Therapy, and a Diploma in Nutrition & Health Education, Aaysha began building a multidisciplinary model of care that reflects in every corner of Unified Rehabilitation Centre today.
This isn’t just a clinic. It’s a movement. It’s a place where hope is restored and lives are rebuilt — true to its tagline.

🟩 2. Founder Spotlight: What Inspired Aaysha Khan to Create Unified Rehabilitation Centre
Every great center starts with a story. For Unified Rehabilitation Centre, the story is deeply personal.
Growing up in a world where neurodivergent children were misunderstood and under-supported, Aaysha Khan knew that things needed to change. Her exposure to children with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, and learning difficulties during her internship made a lasting impression.
Rather than simply treating symptoms, Aaysha envisioned a place that empowers children and educates parents — all while embracing evidence-based care. Her belief? That therapy should be:
• Personalized
• Multidisciplinary
• Parent-inclusive
• Holistically healing
Her professional identity is rooted not only in her degree but in her values of empathy, education, and equity. Unified Rehabilitation Centre is a tribute to that vision, now growing into one of the most promising centers for pediatric and neurological therapy in India.

🟩 3. Building a Dream: The Behind-the-Scenes Journey of Launching Unified Rehabilitation
Opening a therapy center isn’t easy. But Aaysha Khan has never been one to back down from a challenge.
With less than ₹10 lakhs in startup funds, Aaysha designed and launched Unified Rehabilitation Centre from the ground up — one step at a time. She began with a simple space, a clear mission, and a handful of supportive families who believed in her work.
She wore many hats: therapist, entrepreneur, designer, admin, and caregiver. With every therapy session and parent feedback, she refined the systems that now run the center: intake assessments, progress trackers, interdisciplinary collaborations, and resource kits.
Over time, the center expanded to include:
• Occupational Therapy
• Speech and Language Therapy
• Physiotherapy
• Special Education
• CBT & ABA Therapy
• Art Therapy
This story isn’t just about starting a clinic — it’s about creating a standard of care that India’s pediatric therapy field truly needs.
