Our Story

"Founded in 2014, Super S.T.A.R.S. was born out of a personal journey of one family navigating the world of neurodiversity. Through our experience of seeking the right resources for our own child, we saw a need for a center that provides holistic care, tailored programs, and a nurturing environment. Now, our passion is helping families like yours by offering the support and care we once sought."

Super Star Founder

Founder’s Message

At SUPER S.T.A.R.S Child Research and Development Center, our mission is deeply rooted in the belief that every child is unique, capable, and deserving of a nurturing environment that supports their growth and potential.
As a parents of nuero diverse kid, our journey began with a personal understanding of the challenges families face in seeking the right guidance and resources for their children. This personal experience has shaped our unwavering commitment to treat every child who walks through our doors with the same care, dedication, and respect that we desire for our own son.
Our center is more than a place of learning—it is a community where research meets practice, and innovation meets care. By combining evidence-based strategies with a personalized approach, we aim to empower every child.
To the families we serve, we see your hopes, share your dreams, and honor the trust you place in us. Together, we can empower your child to shine as the superstar they are meant to be.

With gratitude and determination,
Shravani and Ravi Nangunoori
