At Maryam Nawaz School and Resource Centre For Autism, our therapeutic philosophy is translated into a standardized framework of tools and strategies developed by expert therapists, special educators, and pathologists. These are more than resources; they are the pillars of our day-to-day practice, proven to unlock potential and foster independence.
We share these core components with families to help bridge learning and support between school and home:
1️⃣ Individualized Education Pathway (IEP) Protocol
Our IEPs are living roadmaps, built through detailed assessments, collaborative goal-setting with parents, and continuous reviews. Every objective is personalized and measurable, ensuring the plan is meaningful and relevant to your child’s progress.
2️⃣ Punjab Autism Visual Support System (PAVSS)
A school-wide visual communication system incorporating PECS, visual schedules, and token economies. Classrooms use consistent, color-coded tools to build predictability and reduce anxiety. Parents receive templates and training to replicate this system at home for consistency everywhere.
3️⃣ Multi-Modal Communication Gateway
Guided by our speech-language pathologists, we adopt a total communication approach: integrating natural speech, AAC devices, communication boards, and core vocabulary strategies. Every child is supported in finding and strengthening their own “voice.”
4️⃣ “Understanding Our World” Social Story Library
A collection of standardized social stories for everyday situations—from attending a birthday party to trying new food. Each story uses simple, positive language and relatable imagery. Parents can access the same stories or request custom narratives to prepare their child for new experiences.
5️⃣ Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Framework
We focus on understanding the “why” behind behaviour. Using ABC (Antecedent-Behaviour-Consequence) tracking, our team designs compassionate, proactive plans to teach replacement skills such as functional communication and self-regulation. Families receive guidance to apply consistent strategies at home.
6️⃣ Sensory Integration & Regulation Programme
Every child has a unique sensory profile. Our occupational therapists create individualized sensory diets, scheduled activities (e.g., swinging, deep pressure, tactile play) that optimize focus and readiness for learning. Families receive home sensory plans for daily regulation.
7️⃣ Life Skills for Independence Curriculum
Essential executive functioning and daily living skills, such as cooking, hygiene, and money management, are broken into teachable steps with hands-on practice. Parents are encouraged to reinforce the same steps at home, ensuring true mastery and independence.
8️⃣ Inclusive Education Model
We prepare both the child and the environment. Adaptations include modified instructional materials, visual cues, and structured teaching methods. For students transitioning to mainstream settings, we partner with receiving schools to share proven strategies and ensure success and belonging.
Our holistic, standardized approach guarantees that every child receives consistent, high-quality, and compassionate support tailored to their needs.
