Introduction

For parents in Islamabad raising a child with autism, ADHD, speech delays, or other developmental needs, finding a center that combines quality education with coordinated therapy can make a significant difference. N.E.S.T (Nurturing Education with School & Therapy) is one such center, based in DHA Phase 2, Sector G, Islamabad.

What Is N.E.S.T?

N.E.S.T is a special education school and therapy center serving children ages 2 to 20. Rather than offering education and therapy as separate, disconnected services, N.E.S.T combines special education with ABA therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy under one roof, so a child's classroom goals and therapy goals reinforce each other throughout the day.

Services Offered

Special Education: Individualized education plans (IEPs) built around each child's pace, goals, and learning style, delivered by certified special educators.

ABA Therapy: Applied Behavior Analysis delivered by IBA-certified therapists, focused on building communication, learning, and social skills through positive reinforcement.

Speech Therapy: Certified speech-language pathologists help children build expressive and receptive language skills, using tools such as PECS and AAC for children who are not yet speaking.

Occupational Therapy: Licensed occupational therapists help children build sensory processing, fine-motor, and self-care skills.

Physical Therapy: Pediatric physical therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, and other motor delays.

Family Support: Parent counseling and guidance, recognizing that consistent support at home is a key part of a child's progress.

Online Sessions for Families Who Cannot Visit in Person

N.E.S.T also offers online academic and online therapy sessions over video call, led by its CEO and Special Educator and its Clinical Director and Behavior Therapist respectively. These sessions are designed for families who cannot travel to DHA Phase 2 in person, including Pakistani families living abroad and international families seeking guidance for their child.

Individualized, Coordinated Approach

Every child who enrolls at N.E.S.T begins with an assessment, after which the team builds an individualized plan that may combine special education with one or more therapy services based on the child's specific needs. Progress is tracked and shared with parents regularly, and plans are adjusted as a child grows and develops.

N.E.S.T is located in DHA Phase 2, Sector G, Islamabad, and serves families across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
