Bangladesh service guide
Government therapy and developmental-support starting points.
Public services are spread across different institutions. This page gives families a starting map, not a guarantee that a particular service or appointment is available today.
Disability service and support centres
National Foundation centres provide public support in multiple districts and upazilas.
The National Foundation for Development of the Disabled reports a network of disability service and support centres. Its official information describes therapeutic services, counselling, referral support, and assistive support for people with disabilities, including autistic people.
- Confirm the nearest centre and current contact details before travelling.
- Ask which services are currently available at that specific centre.
- Ask whether an appointment, referral, registration, or document is needed.
- Ask which professional will provide the service and what the visit is intended to accomplish.
Shishu Bikash Kendra
Use the DGHS source as a starting point for child-development services.
The Directorate General of Health Services maintains an official Shishu Bikash Kendra page. Availability, referral routes, and service details can vary by facility, so confirm the current hospital or centre information directly.
Before travelling
Confirm five details.
- Exact location and opening day.
- Whether an appointment is required.
- What documents or previous reports to bring.
- Whether there is a fee for any part of the service.
