Our little learners had fun placing magnetic 2D body parts on a blank face! 🎭 This activity targeted body part recognition, spatial awareness, and following directions — all while keeping it playful and engaging.

If a child produces unclear speech, Van Riper’s traditional articulation therapy can be highly effective when applied correctly. At times, progress can be observed almost instantly—as shown in this two-minute clip.

After spending the whole day in sessions, guiding little ones, helping them shape words, become more functional, eloquent, and expressive… today, my heart was touched in the simplest yet deepest way.

It was my third child of the day who looked at me and said, “I love you.”
In that moment, all my hard work felt worth it. It was as if I received the sweetest fruit of my efforts.

Often, I think I am nothing on my own. It’s only Allah’s immense blessings upon me — He covers my shortcomings and, with just His command “Kun,” turns my small efforts into something meaningful.

Alhamdulillah for these moments that remind me why I do what I do.

At Little Learners, we believe language grows stronger when children see, hear, and touch the world around them.
🔹 Why sequential stories?
They help children understand the order of events (first–then–next–last), which builds comprehension skills. At the same time, retelling these steps supports expressive language—helping children move from words to meaningful sentences.

We were delighted to welcome Ms. Paola De Dilectis, a current student of the Master in Global Health (MGH) program from Italy, to Little Learners as part of her academic internship! 🇮🇹🤝🇵🇰

Her thesis focuses on:
"Neurological Disorders – The burden of neurological diseases from childhood: Development of a multi-systemic and multi-level model."

It was an absolute pleasure to engage in meaningful and fruitful discussions around early intervention, therapy models, and the multidimensional support children with neurological challenges require. Ms. Paola also conducted interviews with our speech-language pathologists and psychologists to gain insight into our practices and the local context of therapy and rehabilitation in Pakistan.

We are honored to be a small part of her research journey and truly enjoyed the exchange of ideas.
Special thanks to Dopasi Foundation for the thoughtful gifts and for making this visit even more memorable.

Wishing Paola all the best in her work and academic endeavors!
