Coaching, not a gym

Online coaching for motor and daily skills

Online, we coach you through a dressing, pencil or mealtime routine in your house. We cannot replace a licensed occupational therapist on video, and we do not run a sensory gym over a phone.

What we can coach from here

The order of a dressing routine. How you set the paper. When to stop a writing burst. A mealtime that has become a war. Parent coaching in Urdu or English, from Model Town, for families in Pakistan and abroad. Worldwide, online therapy.

A consultation is Rs 1,500 and lasts up to 50 minutes. Complementary to local OT where you live — not a substitute for it, and not a statutory report.

What we will not pretend

We are not a licensed OT on your screen. We will not run Ayres sensory integration, prescribe a sensory gym, or diagnose a hand condition from a video. If that is what is needed, we say so and help you find the right profession where you are.

What we will send you to locally

Pain in the hand or arm, weakness on one side, lost skills, swallowing. Online therapy.

The idea behind the work (in the books)

We can watch sitting, a pencil, a button on video. We cannot do a clinical hand assessment through a phone.

  • Case-Smith — coach the daily task

    Show us the chair, the paper, the lunch box. We change one thing.

  • Honesty about licensed OT

    Video does not turn us into occupational therapists. If that profession is what they need, we say so.

These are teaching ideas, named so you can look them up. Naming a book is not a claim that we run a certified programme of that name — if we do not, the page says so.

What the research tells us

This isn’t just our opinion — it’s grounded in published research. Here are a few findings from trusted, independent sources:

  • Novak and Honan’s systematic review of paediatric occupational therapy found strong evidence that task-specific handwriting practice improves handwriting. That is about repeated, specific practice of the skill — not a claim that Inclusive delivers licensed occupational therapy.

FAQ

Online — questions parents ask

Can you assess my child’s hand on Zoom?

We can see a lot. We cannot feel tone or a joint. When that matters, we say the next step is in-person — here or near you.

Do you have a branch in my city?

No. One centre in Model Town, Multan.

Is this occupational therapy online?

No. It is parent coaching for motor and daily skills, with the same honest limit as the Multan page.

What should I have ready?

The shirt, the pencil, the snack that fails. Not a clinic kit.

Can you do sensory integration online?

We do not deliver formal SI in the room or on video. We can coach practical regulation. Licensed OT is a referral.
