LahoreAssessment, diagnosis & therapy for children, teens and adults

Every child thinks — just not the same way.
We find theirs, and support it.

NEST is a Lahore-based institute that tests for and treats dyslexia, ADHD, autism and related learning differences. We assess with internationally standardised tools, explain the results to you in plain Urdu or English, and stay with your family through the therapy that follows.

Start Here

Wherever you're coming from, there's a door in

Most people arrive at NEST from one of three places. Pick the one that sounds like you — every route ends with a real conversation, not a form.

What We Support

Six areas of focus, one clinical team

Co-occurrence is the rule, not the exception — most of the children we see fit more than one of these. That's exactly why our psychologists, therapists and educators share a single case file.

Where We Are Strongest — Screening & Diagnosis

Six areas, one starting point:
getting the right answer first

Every plan on this page depends on one thing being right — the assessment underneath it. Therapy aimed at the wrong difficulty costs a family years. Screening and diagnosis is the discipline NEST was built around, and it remains the work we do best.

What a full evaluation actually measures

The battery is selected case by case, sampling across all six domains — the presenting complaint is rarely the whole story.

Cognitive & reasoning

Phonological processing

Attention & executive function

Speech & language

Academic achievement

Sensory & motor

Our Standard

Why our diagnoses hold up

Four commitments that sit behind every report we write — and the reason schools accept them.

01

Internationally standardised instruments

Norm-referenced tests, administered by trained clinicians — never a questionnaire alone.

02

Bilingual administration

Tested in Urdu, English or both, so a language difference is never mistaken for a difficulty.

03

More than one source of evidence

Direct testing, parent interview, teacher ratings and real school work — all cross-checked.

04

A panel, not a single opinion

Psychology, speech, OT and special education review every complex case together.

What You Leave With

A report you can act on — not a label

Findings are explained to you in a face-to-face meeting, in plain language, before anything is filed. Then it goes to work: at home, at school, and in the therapy plan.

A written diagnostic report

Scores, plain-language interpretation and a clear statement of what was and wasn't found.

A family meeting

A sit-down with the clinician who tested your child, with time for every question.

A school-ready summary

Accommodations written in the language your child's teacher can act on this term.

A therapy plan & team

Goals, cadence and the named clinicians who will own it — with review dates set.

One team. One record. One plan.

Care at NEST is a single continuous conversation rather than a series of appointments. Here's the practical difference that makes.

The usual route
At NEST
A folder of reports you carry between clinics
One shared case file every clinician reads
Diagnosis, then a handshake and a referral
Diagnosis, then therapy, school and review
Therapy that ignores the classroom
Work aligned to your child's own curriculum
Care that quietly ends around age 12
A pathway that runs into adulthood
Parents updated at the end of term
Families coached as part of the team

The Pathway

Four steps, one continuous file

1

Screening

A 60–90 minute first session covering the markers that prompted your call.

2

Diagnostic Evaluation

A multidisciplinary panel — psychology, speech, OT, education — on one file.

3

Therapy & Intervention

Weekly work in the modalities the plan calls for, at clinic, home, school or online.

4

Lifelong Guidance

Six-month reviews and transition planning at every life stage.

Our Services

Every modality, one shared record

Services run as a connected ecosystem — your speech therapist sees the OT's notes, the educator follows the same goals, and the case lead reviews everything every six months.

Our Sister Organisation — Edsistive

The care happens here.
Edsistive builds the technology next door.

NEST works alongside Edsistive, an inclusive-education technology company. We provide the clinical care; they build the tools that carry it further than one clinic can reach — screening apps, Urdu-language therapy tools, and the systems schools and clinics run behind them.

In Their Words

What families tell us afterwards

Shared with permission, lightly edited for length. Names changed where families asked.

For two years we were told she just needed to read more. Six months of structured teaching did what two years of "try harder" never could.

Parent, Year 4 reader

The report was the first document about my son that a teacher could actually use on Monday morning. That alone changed the year.

Parent, ADHD program

I was assessed at thirty-four, after my daughter's diagnosis. Suddenly two decades of my life made a different kind of sense.
