Psychological Assessment
The process of psychological assessment aims at identifying the root cause of the problems that parents bring to us. In a society where the question “why is my child not like other children?” haunts parents, psychological evaluation and diagnosis become more than just a scientific method of identification, it becomes a source of better understanding of what is really going on with the child. We fear what we don’t understand and at Centre of Inclusive Care the purpose of diagnosis goes beyond just mere process of putting a child in a particular disorder category under DSM-5. The model of diagnosis followed at CIC is not to just assess the delays of child’s growth rather it aims to evaluate their unique pattern and identify areas of growth based on their existing strengths. This is achieved using different approaches to diagnosis embedded in the wellness model. Series of tests are conducted with the parents, school and the child before reaching a conclusion.

Parent Guidance Counseling
Centre of Inclusive Care has made emotional support for parents an integral part of its Programme – It is only natural for parents to want and watch their child grow up, succeed, and live a happy life. However we understand that watching your child being challenged with everyday tasks and struggling to understand social norms is not only frustrating, but can put a lot of added pressures from society’s lack of awareness. Often it’s heartbreaking for parents to meet with environmental and social barriers. As much as parents need to be an emotional backbone for a child, parents need emotional support as well. Counseling is support for the entire family. Parents can open up about everything they are feeling, as well as learn new coping strategies. While some parents might feel it’s selfish that they need counseling in the situation, it’s quite the opposite; a child with special needs requires a strong support system. Counseling is a way of helping themselves so that they can better support their child.

Sight Reading Program
Most of the schools in Pakistan focus more on the phonics method when it comes to reading. However for children with learning challenges, and especially for children who are non-verbal, trying to keep up with this method may sometimes become challenging.
This is why we at the centre of inclusive care besides the phonic route have drawn inspiration from the tried and tested Sight Reading Program, of Glenn Doman. At our centre our Sight Reading Program targets the child’s visual and auditory pathways of the brain. The program works on the ‘picture memory’ concept.
Prerequisites: One needs to make sure that the child is aware of the meaning of the word in print. Along with the image, the word is also read out in front of the child loud and clear. At our centre we adapt the reading program to the needs of our clients.

Movement and Expressive Art Therapy
This is an unconventional social therapeutic play program which brings about the motivation to move beyond the learned capacities, reorganizing and rewiring neural pathways in the brain for holistic (mind, body and spirit) development and connections.
It incorporates expressive arts therapy, social stories via electronic media, psychoanalytical therapy, humanistic Gestalt Therapy, Group play therapy, Lego-based and sand tray therapy in an integrative fashion.
This domain of inclusive care program brings about a learning experience that furthers individuals’ emotional (self-control, empathy, self-awareness), physical (body-kinesthetic intelligence), cognitive (expressive-receptive language skills, sequencing, creative thinking, conflict resolution), and social skills (self-confidence, interpersonal and intrapersonal development), thereby giving them the space to explore their multiple intelligence.

Psychotherapy
At CIC we provide therapeutic holding for clients in emotional distress as well as those wishing to achieve a heightened sense of awareness in their lives in order to make clearer and more fruitful decisions.
Psychotherapy in a broader sense has to do with helping clients deal with mental disorders such as anxiety, stress and depression to name a few through emotional work by mode of talk therapy as well as various other modern methods of counselling employed internationally. Methods that work, methods that ease trauma and release anxieties that a client may never know they were even carrying!
It is well known that overwhelming emotions such as stress and anxiety have an effect on our bodies, such chronic neck or back pains, that persist consistently yet have no medically diagnosable cause or treatment. Working on our emotions in therapy are known to help ease these symptoms.
Emotions play an important role in our lives and it’s high time we start taking them seriously as well. At CIC we provide the care and support you need for your emotional needs.

Parent Support Groups
Parent Support Groups are a further extension of the Parent Guidance Counseling programme at the Centre of Inclusive Care and is intended for the emotional support of parents as well. It is only natural for parents to want to watch their child grow up, succeed, and live a happy life.
However we understand that watching your child being challenged with everyday tasks and struggling to understand social norms is not only frustrating, but can put a lot of added pressures and emotional stress to everyday life especially when confronted with society’s lack of awareness on such matters.
We understand that it is heartbreaking for parents to meet with environmental and social barriers. As much as parents need to be an emotional backbone for a child, parents need emotional support as well.
Support groups are an additional form of emotional support, the likes only other parents who have been through similar difficult experiences can give each other. The kind of understanding, sensitivity and safety the wider society may lack at times can be found in these safe and secure groups of parents, as they see each other through both hardship and ease. These parent groups are guided by our gentle and caring facilitators who help you as parents to witness as well as open up about your difficult experiences in a safe group setting. Parent Support Groups are the very heart of the Systemic work we do at CIC along with Parent Guidance Counselling. What a child with special needs requires the most is a strong support system.
Parent Support Groups are hence a means of empowering parents to take a stand for themselves by taking care of themselves, so that they can better support their child as well as each other.
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and language therapy is not only about the way we talk and speak, but more importantly the way we use communication to be part of a society or gathering, school or a workplace, at restaurant, a food outlet or other social situations. Speech manifests the sound system of communication and language.
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech and language therapy is not only about the way we talk and speak, but more importantly the way we use communication to be part of a society or gathering, school or a workplace, at restaurant, a food outlet or other social situations. Speech manifests the sound system of communication and language. It encompasses the vocabulary, grammar and order of words uttered from the oral cavities. The completion of the act happens when we use gestures, eye contact, pointing or any form of body movements to express what the underlying message would be.Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is utilized with the use of Softwares like Ispeak and Awaz where the children are made to learn through ABA application of treatment approach.Technology plays such a vital role in facilitating communication and which is why we use different augmentative and alternative devices when conducting speech and language therapy sessions at Centre of Inclusive Care.

Counseling and Training for Schools
It is difficult to teach a subject as well as take care of the emotional needs of a classroom full of children. And it is also inversely true that without connecting with children or taking care of their emotional regulations it is just as difficult for them to learn.
We know now through leading researches such as the Multiple Intelegence Theory, that each child is different, and hence each child needs to be taught differently. At CIC part of our goal for Inclusion is Inclusion in mainstream schools where children with learning difficulties and disabilities can have their educational and emotional needs met. We help schools to set up their very own Special Education Needs Department (SEN) through trainings conducted by our very own SEND Team who are experienced professionals trained within the fields of Psychotherapy and Remedial Therapy.
In addition Counselling is provided to teachers as we at CIC believe in our moto and try our best to hold the systems that hold the child. Hence we provide teachers the holding and emotional support they need to provide holding for the children under their care.
