Our Shining Testimonials

         

"Mariyah Zahid has been providing me with telehelp speaking sessions for about a year now. My child wasn't particularly aware of her emotions when we first started, but since we started working together, her emotions have been really well managed. In certain situations, my child has replied and shared her perspectives. Her interactions at home with cousins and siblings have significantly improved. Mariyah's efforts and foresight are much appreciated."

Maria

"My son was non-verbal when I joined speech therapy sessions with Mariyah. She was not only patient and kind but had a very clear and structured approach. She listened to what I had to say and managed to teach him with a fun yet professional attitude. My son is now four and alhamdulillah makes his own sentences. He has become both responsive and spontaneous."

Ramsha

"Mariyah is a dedicated therapist who worked consistently with my child and took every challenge head-on. She made sure that my concerns were heard and accounted for."

Hira

"Aleena has been working with my 7 year old son on his speech development, and I cannot commend her professionalism and dedication highly enough. From the outset, Aleena demonstrated a strong ability to assess my son's speech skills with accuracy and insight, allowing her to tailor a therapy plan that meets his specific needs. She engages him effectively during both in-person and virtual sessions. We are deeply appreciative of Aleena’s expertise, commitment, and the genuine care she brings to her work."

Hajra

"I want to share my wonderful experience. Ms Mariyah has done an incredible work with my 5 year old. She is amazing in every way—always patient, attentive, and flexible. She works in such a playful and natural way that my child doesn't even realize he's learning therapy feels like fun for him! Just a year ago, he relied on sign language as his main form of communication. Today, he uses words and even makes short sentences. The progress has been truly remarkable and all the credit goes to her. She is a blessing for me and my family Alhumdulillahh. And I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who truly understands children and makes therapy a joyful experience."

Sania

"My son has been taking sessions with Miss Mariya for about 2 months and before that he was with her in another institute. I was seeing progress in his speech. She is very cooperative. My son is now able to narrate to me what's happening in his class and therapy. He looks forward to his therapy sessions every week. Apart from that she gives me tasks and we practice with him at home making a mutual bond together which is having a wonderful impact on him. Overall my experience is good. recommended."
