Online parent coaching
Online coaching is live video from our Multan team. You are in your kitchen. The child does not have to sit on camera. We have no branch outside Model Town.

Where it works
Across Pakistan and abroad, in Urdu or English. See online therapy and worldwide. It is complementary to local services, not a local licence abroad.
When video is the wrong tool
Hearing checks, hands-on motor work, a child who must be seen. We say so. Consultation is still Rs 1,500 for up to 50 minutes.
What you need on the call
A phone, a quiet-enough room, and the routine that fails. The child can be off-camera. We are one hour away from much of the Gulf; weekday afternoons there (1pm to 5pm) land inside our 2pm to 6pm Multan hours. Online therapy, worldwide.
Complementary to local services. Not a local licence abroad. Not a branch in your city.
When video is the wrong tool
Hearing checks, hands-on motor work, a child who must be seen. We say so. The consultation is still Rs 1,500 for up to 50 minutes. Honesty about that is cheaper than a month of the wrong hour.
What to have on the table
The snack, the shoe, the homework that fails. Not a tidy child performing. Complementary to local services. Not a branch in your city.
The idea behind the work (in the books)
Online coaching is the same hour on video. The child does not have to sit on camera.
NICE — parent mediation
Pre-school social-communication work is parent-mediated. Video is a reasonable way to mediate when the drive to Multan is the wall.
Cheng 2023 — parent-implemented
Effects are moderate overall, smaller for life skills. Online coaching still needs you to practise between calls.
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:
NICE CG170 recommends a play-based social-communication intervention with parents, carers and teachers to increase joint attention, engagement and reciprocal communication, adjusted to the child’s developmental level. For pre-school children it recommends parent mediation.
— NICE Clinical Guideline CG170 — Autism spectrum disorder in under 19s: support and management. View sourceCheng and colleagues (2023) meta-analysed parent-implemented interventions. Overall benefits were moderate; adaptive behaviour and life-skills effects were the smallest. Coaching helps. It is not a guarantee of independence.

Online — questions parents ask
Do you have a branch in my city?
No. One centre, Model Town, Multan. Everything else is online. We will never tell you we have a branch we do not have.
What do I need?
A phone, a quiet-enough room, and the routine that fails. The child can be off-camera.
What if the connection drops?
We finish on WhatsApp voice if we have to. The prompt you were practising still counts.
What if they will not come near the camera?
We still work with you. For a young child we do not need them on screen.
Ask about online
A short, friendly conversation is the best first step. Call, text or WhatsApp us — we’ll listen and guide you, with no pressure.
