Mahnoor Baloch, faculty speech and language therapist at Inclusive in Multan

Written by the Inclusive Developmental and Therapy Center therapy team · medically reviewed by Dr Muhammad Suffyan, MB BS (GMC 8023727) · Last reviewed September 2026

Mahnoor Baloch is a Special Education professional, Speech & Language Therapist and Behaviour Therapist with more than five years of professional experience supporting children with developmental, behavioural, communication, learning and educational needs. She has worked with children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays and other special educational needs across inclusive schools, paediatric therapy settings and early-intervention programmes in Multan.

Her approach is individual: understand this child’s strengths and needs, write practical goals, and teach them in the ordinary day. She supports communication, speech and language, behaviour, social skills, sensory needs, school readiness, independence and functional learning — and she collaborates with teachers, therapists and parents rather than working in a closed room.

Every child has a unique way of learning, communicating, and connecting with the world. I believe meaningful intervention begins with understanding the child, recognizing their strengths, and creating individualized support that helps them communicate, learn, develop independence, and participate with confidence.

Our belief. In an inclusive world, every child deserves the opportunity to communicate, learn, grow, and belong.

Public profile: LinkedIn. Team: about the centre and who does what.

These degrees are listed so a parent can check them. You may contact the university or institute named next to each award — Institute of Southern Punjab, University of Education Lahore / Nobles College of Education Multan, and Bahauddin Zakariya University — and confirm it. We only print credentials the practitioner has supplied. IBT (IBAO) is still in progress, so it is not on this list as a finished certificate.

What she does not claim

She is not a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst. International Behavior Therapist (IBT) 40-hour training with IBAO is in progress in 2026 — not a finished certificate. She is not an occupational therapist and this centre does not offer licensed sensory integration therapy; practical sensory and motor skill-building sits under special education and ABA, and we refer when a licensed OT is what the child needs. See sensory support.

She does not diagnose autism or ADHD, and she does not prescribe medicine. The centre is owned by Muhammad Salman Afzal, who is the first contact for any consultation and the clinical and child psychologist. ABA hours are also delivered by Atika Zainab and Noor Fatima.
