The model

How inclusion actually works here

Inclusion is not simply placing a disabled child in a mainstream room and hoping. It means the room is built so that more than one kind of learner belongs in it from the start.

  • Individualised education plans. Each child has goals of their own; the class does not move at one speed.
  • Therapy inside the school day. A skill worked on in the morning gets practised in the classroom the same week.
  • Staff trained in behaviour analysis. The teaching team is trained on site, to an international standard.
  • Both groups gain. Neurotypical children who grow up alongside disabled peers do not have to learn inclusion later as an abstraction.

Why places are funded

Nobody should choose between rent and their child’s education

Specialist education is expensive almost everywhere, and in practice that means the children who most need it are the ones least likely to get it. Funding places rather than charging for them is a deliberate answer to that.

At the cheapest rate in Islamabad, therapy for one child costs nearly three-quarters of a full minimum-wage income. See the arithmetic.

Therapy fees and training income cover part of the cost. Donations cover the rest. If you would like to help fund a place, get in touch, and we will tell you what is needed and where it goes.
