She is always thinking of creative ways to help children who may struggle in school or with friendships- she never gives up and is fully dedicated to those in her care. She is never overwhelmed or surprised- she sees it as her job to make things work for a child. She is also committed to helping parents and other school personnel understand children and the various systems at play. She is a joy to work with!

I highly recommend Magical Minds online Consultancy for special needs. As someone who has personally witnessed Maheen’s dedication and passion, I am confident in her ability to provide valuable guidance and resources. With her wealth of knowledge and experience, she is an ideal choice for anyone seeking support in this area. Above all, my friend is a kind and compassionate person who truly cares about making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Maheen has been working with us for two years. Initially she helped our child regulate his emotions and provided us with tools to meet him at his level and not where we expected him to be. Her sessions have segued into teaching him to manage social situations, plan and execute a task, and verbally express his feelings with confidence. His communication and social skills have grown exponentially under her care. Maheen has given us the tools to be better parents to our child. In addition, she helped guide us through the process of engaging the D. O. E. for their services. Maheen has provided us with invaluable information to raise our child with the compassion and respect he deserves. We strongly recommend her services to any parent raising a child with special needs.

It has been a pleasure working beside Ms.Maheen. She began working with one of my students before the beginning of the school year. I have witness such a huge amount of growth within this past year from my student. Ms.Maheen was able to help us better assist this child by giving us pointers and strategies that works for her when communicating with this student. She provided reports with my students assessments. She is very gentle, loving, and nurturing. She makes her clients feel very welcome along with every other student in my class. Her love and her dedication to her job was displayed daily. Although Ms.Maheen was solemnly there for 1 student, she was alway willing to lend a helping hand. As well as assisting her client she always provided ways to help me reach the different learning styles in my classroom, giving me ideas on how I can change things to get my students more engaged. I would recommend Ms.Maheen to any and everyone that needs these services! It was truly an honor having worked with her this school year.

I would like to write to greatly recommend Maheen on how well she worked for my student through the academic year. She provides insightful feedback to both the family and myself on how to best support the child in her learning and development. I have noticed a great progress in the child as it pertains to sharing how she is feeling, when she is in need of support, along with further strengthening her fine motor, cognitive, sensorimotor, and social emotional development and I have Maheen to thank for that! Maheen will be a great addition in any workplace because she is supportive, collaborative, nurturing and professional!

Maheen was our son’s preschool classroom SEIT to help him with social emotional bonds and frustration tolerance. With her help, my son had an amazing school year and made huge strides in his areas of development. They bonded immediately – Maheen knew just how to earn his trust and use that to build a foundation for growth. She seamlessly integrated into the classroom to help him navigate and form new relationships. She put in extra time and effort to keep us as parents updated about his progress – she helped ease our minds and hearts and celebrated little victories along side us. We are so grateful to have Maheen in our lives!!

Maheen worked one-on-one as a SEIT with a student in my classroom. She is intuitive and knows how to work with children’s strengths, interests, and needs. She went above and beyond in communicating with all parties and keeping the school, family, and providers on the same page. I always found Maheen to be a good collaborator and positive presence in the classroom. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!

As an older mother who had my baby at 41, my worries about the risks of Autism associated with parental age consumed me throughout my pregnancy. Thankfully, I know Maheen and she has always been my rock. She isn’t just a wonderful friend and sounding board; she is an incredibly patient subject matter expert. Observing Maheen with her own children, witnessing her graceful handling of every challenge, is inspiring. Her unwavering determination and ability to be present for multiple responsibilities simultaneously is truly remarkable. With Maheen by my side, I always feel a sense of comfort and assurance that I’ve got someone who would guide me through any obstacle that life might throw my way.

One word for Maheen, “There”
She is quiet, calm, strong and stable. She is always present for her loved ones. She is a constant, she is strong but soft and kind. Maheen has a great sense of humor and is a great listener. I have seen her fight to make her children fiercely independent and always encouraged them. She never gives up even when everyone around her loses hope and surrenders. Her balancing act between professionalism and an astounding home maker, is a wonder that many would like to achieve. She is beautiful, both inside and out. I wish her the very best in whatever life throws her way.

Maheen is kind, calm, and knowledgeable. She has a wonderful demeanor with parents and children alike and is a very skilled practitioner. She had an intuitive understanding of our child and explained her observations to us clearly and constructively. She was highly recommended to our family and it was clear why.

I have known Maheen since Highschool. She is the most honest and straightforward person I have met. She doesn’t sugarcoat the advice she gives. My son is on the autism spectrum and she has always guided me with my concerns and questions. I moved to the United States from Canada after speaking to her about the help and services I can get for my son. I highly recommend her!!!
