Online help for your child, wherever you are
Our centre sits in Multan, Pakistan, but our free tools, online child therapy and school training reach families a long way past it. Whatever your background, you can work with our therapists online, in English or in Urdu if that’s easier at home — whether you’re in the UK, Ireland, the Gulf, the USA, Canada, Australia or somewhere else entirely. It’s all built by a qualified team, grounded in trusted health guidance, and honest about what actually helps.
- In English or Urdu
- Online therapy, any time zone
- Doctor-reviewed, built by qualified specialists
- Grounded in evidence (CDC · NHS · ASHA · WHO)
Working online with families in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand — and any English-speaking family, anywhere.
Every family is welcome, whoever you are and wherever you’re from. If your child needs a hand, so do you, and we’re here for both of you. Our sessions run in warm, plain English, and if Urdu is easier at home, that’s no problem at all — اگر گھر میں اردو آسان ہے تو سیشن اردو میں ہو سکتا ہے۔ Message us to arrange a session →

Which country do you live in?
Pick your country for how we work with families there online — and how to reach your own local services too.
Is there a page for your city?
We’ve written a page for the cities with the biggest Pakistani and South-Asian communities. Pick yours for how we help online and how to reach your local services.
How do online sessions work across time zones?
Sessions run live over video, so nobody travels. Pakistan Standard Time is five hours ahead of UTC and never shifts for daylight saving, so once your slot is set it stays put. In practice that means a morning slot in the UK, Ireland and North America, an afternoon one in Australia, and almost any hour in the Gulf.
What do you need at home?
Less than most parents expect. A phone, tablet or laptop with a camera; a connection steady enough for a video call; a corner of a room with the television off; and a parent or carer who stays for the session. Have a few of your child’s own toys or picture books to hand — we’d far rather work with what’s already in your house than with anything you have to buy. If there are brothers and sisters about, that’s a help rather than a problem, and we have guidance on siblings for the days it doesn’t feel that way.
Not sure yet whether there’s anything to act on? Start with the free two-minute development check — it runs in your browser, asks nothing of you but a few minutes, and gives a first conversation somewhere sensible to begin.
What happens between sessions?
The real work. An hour a week with a therapist changes very little on its own; five minutes at breakfast, five in the car and five at bedtime changes a great deal. So we send you home with two or three specific things to try, built into routines you already have — the sort of everyday moments we write about in common situations at home.
Some weeks will go badly, and that’s ordinary rather than a sign you’ve got it wrong. Our little reminders for parents exist for exactly those evenings. And if your child has just been given a diagnosis and you’re still finding your feet, start with what to do after a diagnosis before you change anything else.
How do I get help in my own country as well?
Working with us online sits happily alongside the services in your own country, and we’d always encourage you to use both. Here’s a rough guide to getting started locally too. Things change, so do check your local service for how it works right now.
United Kingdom NHS (free)
How to start: Have a word with your GP or health visitor about a referral to NHS speech & language therapy or paediatrics — and in a lot of areas you can now refer yourself straight to the SLT service.
For extra help at school, ask your local authority about an EHC needs assessment (EHCP), or start with the school’s SENCo.
Ireland HSE (publicly funded)
How to start: Start with your GP or Public Health Nurse, or get in touch with your local HSE Primary Care team or Children’s Disability Network Team (CDNT). You’re also entitled to request an Assessment of Need.
School support is coordinated through the NCSE — ask your child’s school about it.
United States Early Intervention & IDEA
How to start: Under 3? Contact your state’s free Early Intervention program (IDEA Part C). Age 3 and over, ask your school district for a free evaluation. Your pediatrician can refer you, and a good many services are covered by insurance.
A district evaluation can lead to an IEP or a 504 plan for support at school.
Canada Provincial health & school boards
How to start: Support runs province by province — often publicly funded, though waitlists are pretty common. Begin with your family doctor or your child’s school, and ask what early-childhood and school-based services your province offers.
School boards provide learning support; ask about an assessment and a support plan (IEP).
Australia Medicare & NDIS
How to start: See your GP about a referral — a Chronic Disease Management or Mental Health plan can put some of the cost of allied-health sessions on Medicare. And for eligible children, the NDIS funds therapy and support.
Schools provide learning-support and can help you access an assessment.
New Zealand Ministry of Education & health
How to start: Have a chat with your GP, your Plunket nurse, or your child’s early-childhood centre or school. The Ministry of Education is the one that provides early-intervention and learning support.
Ask your school or ECE about learning support and referral to specialist services.
Somewhere else in the world? Have a word with your child’s doctor or paediatrician, ask what early-childhood or school-based support exists near you, or search “child speech & language therapist near me”. If your child is ever in danger, call your local emergency number.

Questions from families outside Pakistan
We live in the UK, USA, Canada or Australia — can we really work with a therapist in Pakistan?
Yes. Sessions run live over video, so the only thing that really changes is the clock. We work with parents in English or Urdu, coach you through activities with your child in your own room, and give you things to practise in between. What we can’t do from a distance is examine your child in person — anything hands-on, we’ll point you to a service near you.
Can an online report be used for an EHCP, an IEP or an NDIS application?
No, and we wouldn’t want you to rely on it for that. Statutory paperwork — an EHC plan in England, an IEP in the USA or Canada, an NDIS plan in Australia — has to come from professionals registered in that country. What we can give you is a plain-language summary of what we see in sessions and what your child responds to, which many parents find useful to take into the meeting.
Should we wait for our local waiting list, or start something now?
You don’t have to choose. Keep your referral exactly where it is — a place on a publicly funded list is worth holding on to. Starting parent coaching in the meantime means those months aren’t empty ones, and you arrive at the appointment knowing far more about your child. Do tell your local service what you’re doing, so nobody is pulling in a different direction.
Which language are sessions in? Kya session Urdu mein ho sakta hai?
English or Urdu, whichever is easier at home — jee haan, session poori tarah Urdu mein ho sakta hai. If your household mixes English with Urdu, Punjabi, Saraiki or Pashto, that is normal and it does not cause speech delay. We count the words your child knows across all their languages together, not one language at a time.
What if you think our child needs to be seen in person?
We’ll say so. A hearing test, a physical examination, a formal hands-on diagnostic assessment, and any worry about choking or swallowing safety all need a professional in the room with your child. When that’s the case we’ll tell you plainly what to ask for and who to ask where you live, rather than keep sessions running for the sake of it.
Is anything free, or do we have to book to get something useful?
Most of this site is free and needs no sign-up. The developmental check, the home programs, the milestone lists, the printable toolkit and the games are open to any parent anywhere, and what you enter stays on your own device. The first consultation is free as well, so you can ask your questions before deciding anything.
Do you only work with Pakistani families abroad?
No. Every family is welcome, whatever your background, as long as we share a language — English or Urdu. Nothing about the way we work assumes a Pakistani household. What matters is that a parent or carer can join the session and try things out at home in between.
Wherever you are, let’s help your child take the next step
A short, friendly conversation is the best first step. Call, text or WhatsApp us — we’ll listen and guide you, with no pressure.
