Miss Maryam Shafa
Educational Psychologist
“An experienced Behavior Therapist working with special needs kids to improve their academic skills and modify their behavior.”
About Me
I work with special needs children, helping them flourish in their learning and daily lives. As an experienced behaviour therapist, I guide young people to develop academic skills and positive behaviours. We might use tools like Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help children express themselves clearly. My approach offers a warm, structured space. Here, families can see their child's unique strengths grow, transforming challenges into practical steps for greater confidence and interaction.
Approach
Working with young learners who need extra support, I focus on shaping academic routines and manageable behaviour goals through clear, stepwise plans. Sessions in Rawalpindi or online are bilingual (English and Hindi/Urdu), calmly paced, and mix hands-on practice with brief caregiver coaching so strategies carry into home and school. I track small gains, adjust prompts and visual tools, and encourage communication through whatever means the child uses. Families wanting steady, practical progress often find this approach reassuring and effective.
