A Message From Director
Consultant Speech Pathologist
At Smart Start Academe, our mission extends beyond education — we are shaping a more inclusive and understanding society for every child.
We are committed to:
✔ Promoting true inclusion within classrooms, learning environments, and communities.
✔ Building awareness and literacy around neurodiversity, ensuring that families, educators, and caregivers are informed and empowered.
✔ Encouraging acceptance of neurodiverse children in society, so every child is valued for who they are and the unique strengths they bring.
✔ Spreading awareness and advocacy, creating a culture where differences are embraced, not judged.
Together, we believe we can create a world where every child learns, grows, and thrives — confidently and proudly.

Best Diagnostic & Therapeutic Academe in Islamabad
At Smart Start Academe, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive at their own pace. As Islamabad’s leading diagnostic and therapeutic academe, we provide a supportive, scientifically designed environment for children with developmental, behavioral, neurodiverse, and learning needs.

This allows us to develop a highly customized intervention and therapy plan based entirely on each child’s unique profile, ensuring meaningful and measurable progress.

Dear Smart Start Team,
I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience you’ve provided to my son, Mohammad Mehdi Ali. As we’re relocating to a different location, Mehdi will no longer be attending this school, but I’m thankful for the time he spent here. Your team’s dedication and support have made a positive impact on his life. I wish the Smart Start team continued success and progress, and I hope the children continue to thrive under your care.
Thank you again for your efforts.
