She is highly professional in her approach, very systematic in her treatment design and interventions, and an excellent facilitator between home and school. Parents often report how quickly their children have transitioned into mainstream schooling after working under Asha’s guidance.”
“My appreciation for your outstanding efforts in helping so many children return to mainstream education. As you are aware, parents often face significant emotional challenges while raising such wonderful children, partly due to societal reactions and partly due to rigid systems. I can confidently say that you have done a great deal to ease that burden and support families through their journey.”
“Mrs. Asha has been working with our son, Ahmed Khan, and we have seen clear improvement over the past few months. Initially, Ahmed had frequent emotional outbursts, difficulty following instructions, short attention span, and struggled with transitions between activities. Mrs. Asha developed a structured plan and introduced simple, consistent strategies such as visual schedules, clear first–then instructions, positive reinforcement, and planned transition warnings. She also guided us on how to respond calmly and consistently during challenging behaviours at home. She regularly reviewed his progress, adjusted goals when needed, and ensured we were involved in every step of the process. Ahmed is now more settled, follows instructions better, and has improved in managing daily routines and transitions. We are very grateful for Mrs. Asha’s guidance and support.”
“Mrs. Asha has been supporting our daughter, Lavanya Nair (4 years old), who was diagnosed with ADHD and was facing significant behavioural challenges in nursery. Initially, Lavanya had difficulty sitting in class, frequent impulsive behaviours, emotional outbursts, and struggled with following group instructions. The nursery also reported concerns about her attention and participation in structured activities. Mrs. Asha conducted a detailed assessment and introduced a structured ABA-based plan in coordination with the therapy team. She implemented clear routines, visual supports, reinforcement strategies, and short, achievable task instructions to improve attention and compliance. Over a period of 4 months, we saw noticeable improvements. Lavanya is now more regulated in class, follows simple instructions better, and her tantrums have reduced significantly. We are very grateful to Mrs. Asha and her team for their consistent support and close collaboration.”
“Our son, Philip Cruz (3.5 years old), was referred to Mrs. Asha by his nursery, Chubby Cheeks Nursery, Dubai, due to concerns around limited communication, difficulty following group instructions, and frequent frustration during structured activities. When we started, Philip often struggled with transitions and would become upset during classroom routines. Mrs. Asha conducted a detailed assessment and introduced a structured behaviour plan using visual cues, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement strategies. She also worked closely with his ABA therapist and the nursery team to ensure a consistent approach across all environments. Within a few months, we noticed clear improvements. Philip is now more settled in class, follows instructions more consistently, and is gradually engaging better with peers and teachers. We are very grateful to Mrs. Asha for her guidance and practical strategies.”
“Our son, Arjun Menon (5 years old), was referred to Mrs. Asha by his pediatrician at Aster Clinic, Al Qusais, for ADHD-related concerns, including inattention, hyperactivity, and difficulty following instructions at home and school. Mrs. Asha conducted an assessment and introduced a structured behavior plan using visual schedules, clear routines, reinforcement strategies, and parent guidance. She also coordinated closely with the ABA therapist and school to ensure consistency across all settings. Within a few months, Arjun showed noticeable improvement in attention, behavior regulation, and daily routines. We are very grateful for Mrs. Asha’s support and structured approach.”
