Our Story
A centre built for the children others overlooked.
Zee Autism Health & Education Centre was founded in March 2023 by Ms. Zahida Awan as a specialist home for children and young individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders — in all their forms. We do not limit our care to a single diagnosis. If your child is struggling, we are here to understand why.
Founder
Ms. Zahida Awan
Ms. Zahida Awan founded Zee Autism after years of watching families navigate a system that too often treated their children as cases to be cleared, not children to be understood.
She personally meets every family who walks through our doors. She listens before she advises. She believes that parents are the world's foremost experts on their own child — and that any therapy plan that ignores them is incomplete.
Her approach is rigorous, warm, and uncompromising on one thing: no child should ever be lost in a crowd.
Our Philosophy
Limited enrolment is not a constraint. It is the promise.
We deliberately keep our numbers small so that every therapist knows every child. So that progress reports are written from real observation. So that when you ask, "How is my child today?" — the answer comes from someone who actually knows.
Core Values
What we will never compromise on.
Quality over volume
We limit enrolment on purpose. Fewer children, deeper care.
1:1 therapy
Always one therapist, one child. No grouping. No shortcuts.
Parent as partner
You are part of the plan — not an observer outside the door.
Early intervention
The earlier we start, the more we can change. Time matters.
Dignity & warmth
Every child is met with respect. Every parent with kindness.
Integrated care
Five disciplines, one team, one coordinated plan.
Radical transparency
Honest progress reports — even when progress is slow.
