We’re here to guide you forward!
Here are some of the challenges we know you're navigating:
Cultural Stigma and Judgment: Feeling blamed for their child’s additional needs and facing stigma within their community, leading to shame and helplessness.
Social Isolation and Loneliness: Avoiding gatherings out of fear of judgment or hurtful comments, resulting in disconnection from others.
Emotional and Physical Exhaustion: Overwhelmed by the constant demands of caregiving without sufficient support, leading to anxiety and burnout.
Family Pressure and Misunderstandings: Facing criticism or resistance from family members who dismiss diagnoses or advocate for alternative "healing" methods.
Overwhelming and Conflicting Information: Struggling to navigate the flood of advice, feeling unsure of where to begin or how to help their child effectively.
Uncertainty About the Future: Worrying about their child’s ability to develop independence, navigate adolescence, and live a fulfilling life, while managing strained relationships at home.
At Aayaheena, we understand these challenges deeply. That’s why our monthly community membership is designed to provide not just practical resources, but also a safe, supportive community where you are truly seen, heard, and empowered every step of the way.

Hear from our empowered members
"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support my son has received at your school. Since he joined, I have noticed remarkable improvements in both his impulsivity and academic performance. It’s evident that he is much better understood and supported here than he was at his previous school in the UK.
I’m also deeply thankful for the invaluable advice you shared about the steps I could take at home. Your guidance has played a significant role in his progress. May Allah grant you Jannatul Firdaws for your kindness, Habo. Thank you.
Thank you for creating such a nurturing environment for him. I truly appreciate all the effort the staff has put into helping him thrive."

"I would like to thank you for the coaching you have given me and helping my son to achieve some major goals and I feel privileged to have you as a coach. Your method is very effective. As a result of your coaching I’m able to help my son to achieve fulfilling life and good outcomes.
I began working with Samia at a time when I was unhappy and worried about my son’s future.
Samia has been coaching me for five months and has guided me through different targets and within a span of two weeks we achieved our first target, a target that was beyond my wildest dreams.
My son’s life would not be the same without Samia as my coach."
