Who we are

Care shaped by lived experience and professional responsibility

HELP Autism Pakistan is a project of Aniqa & Sohail Welfare Society. It grew from family experience, pediatric leadership and years of parent and professional teaching into a multidisciplinary autism service, learning and participation model.

HELP works across assessment, communication, behavior, sensory-motor development, play and relationships, education, daily living, technology, sports, parent empowerment and vocational opportunity. The aim is not to make every person follow one path, but to build the clearest possible path around individual strengths, needs and priorities.

Leadership hierarchy

Clear executive, technical and clinical responsibility

HELP Integrated Autism Model · HIAM

Four commitments held together

Holistic development

Communication, regulation, learning, relationships, health, movement, self-help and participation connect.

Evidence-informed practice

Assessment, observation, data and clinically reviewed approaches guide decisions.

Lifelong learning

Support continues beyond early childhood toward school, adolescence, adulthood and meaningful roles.

Parent partnership

Families help set goals, understand progress and practice realistic strategies.

What guides the work

Values made visible in practice

Dignity and voice

People and families are partners in decisions, not passive recipients of services.

Individualized support

Goals, communication and participation needs differ; support should reflect the person.

Family partnership

Families bring essential knowledge, context and priorities to each support pathway.

Responsible practice

Public claims, clinical language, media and partnerships require clear review and accountability.

Governance and safeguarding

Trust depends on evidence, consent and review

Executive accountability Dr Muhammad Sohail Shehzad, CEO, leads organizational governance and authorization.

Clinical review Dr Aniqa Sohail and named reviewers approve clinical terminology and high-risk content before publication.

Consent-led media Identifiable children, families, testimonials and case histories use documented, channel-specific permission.

Verified claims Credentials and impact figures are tied to supporting records, clear definitions and dates.

Partners and supporters

Build inclusion with clear roles and shared standards

Schools, universities, employers, health professionals and community organizations can begin a responsible partnership conversation. Any public partner listing will require approval from both organizations.
