Down syndrome and school readiness — how Akasha works
Akasha works with children with Down syndrome in the school-readiness programme: communication, sitting, pre-reading and classroom skills in small steps, measured against this child. Contact owner Muhammad Salman Afzal first.

What the plan usually holds
A way to ask. A short sit. Following a one-step instruction. Pre-reading and pencil work when they are kind. Life skills that make a classroom day possible. The condition page is Down syndrome. Home: home support.
Speech and hearing questions stay with Mahnoor’s speech and special-education training. Psychology for feelings sits with Salman. Akasha delivers the school-readiness hours.
Progress is this child
Not a race with a typically developing classmate. Individual goals, structured activities, reinforcement, prompting and fading. Families and teachers in the loop. School readiness.

Down syndrome — questions parents ask
Will my child go to a mainstream school?
Sometimes yes, with support. Sometimes a smaller setting is kinder this year. That is a judgement after we have seen your child — mainstream or special school.
Do we need a diagnosis first?
Down syndrome is usually already known. School-readiness work still starts from what this child can do today, not from the label alone.
