Autism Care Centre is Lahore’s most advanced and committed centre for autistic children, with daily hours and care facility.
Recognizing the constant demand of parents and crucial need for the students the Autism Care Centre came into being in 2015 to provide essential services. Then we took gradual steps towards developing a longer course to cater to the needs that arose over time, eventually we established a 4-hour long programme under the name of Autism Care Center.
We use the highly successful and influential ‘Push-In’ model theory in our classrooms, which is guided by a Board of Advisors from the United States.
Autism Care Centre dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs, to reach their full potential. Our morning program offers a holistic and integrated approach, combining Occupational therapy, Speech Therapy, and Behavioral Therapy to foster cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Our expert team works closely with each child to develop essential life skills, seamlessly transitioning them into mainstream schooling and preparing them for a fulfilling, independent life. Through personalized support and evidence-based practices, we nurture confidence, creativity, and self-expression, helping our students thrive in all aspects of life.
