Sitaray's Residential programme for children with special needs in Islamabad

Sitaray’s residential programme provides safe, supervised accommodation for children and young adults with autism and other special needs in Islamabad.  Daily routines  are structured around teaching children daily living skills, community access and rest. For families across Pakistan, Sitaray’s residential programme can be the difference between years of delayed progress and a child who keeps building skills in an secure environment with trained therapists and supervisors. Our residential service integrates with our Early Intervention, Transition school and Daily living skills programmes.

Key Features of Residential Accomodation Sitaray

24/7 Supervised Care

Every residential placement includes round-the-clock supervision from trained staff, with clear safety protocols for medication, mobility and behaviour support, so parents know their child is monitored day and night, not only during scheduled therapy hours.

Individualised Therapy Integration

Residential stays are built around each child's existing ABA, speech and occupational therapy goals, keeping sessions and home practice connected instead of pausing progress while a child is away from their usual routine.

Home-Like, sensory Friendly-Environment

Accommodation at Sitaray is designed to feel calm and familiar, with sensory-friendly spaces, predictable routines and comfortable living areas that reduce anxiety and support children who find new environments difficult to adjust to.

Regular Family Communication

Parents receive scheduled updates, phone or video calls and progress notes throughout their child's stay, keeping families closely involved in decisions even when their child is living at the centre rather than at home.

Safety & Behaviour Support

Safety is built into every part of a child’s stay, from trained staff supervision to clear daily routines that help children feel settled and secure in an unfamiliar setting. Where needed, our team uses behaviour support strategies to guide children through difficult moments calmly and constructively, always with the child’s wellbeing and dignity as the priority. Staff are trained to notice early signs of distress and respond in a way that keeps everyone safe, rather than waiting for a situation to escalate. Parents are kept informed through our tracking software, so there are never any surprises about how their child’s day has been.

 

Daily Living & Independence skills

Residential time gives children structured, repeated practice with everyday skills such as dressing, personal hygiene, mealtime routines and safely joining community outings, skills that are harder to build consistently within a short daily session. These skills are taught in real settings rather than simulated ones, which helps children generalise what they learn far more reliably. For adolescents, this work runs alongside the Life Skills Training programme, connecting residential practice to longer-term goals around independence and future employment. Parents receive regular updates on which skills are emerging so progress continues once a child is back home.

Nutrition and Daily Routines

A predictable daily rhythm, with consistent wake and sleep times, regular meals and set activity blocks, helps children with autism feel calmer and more able to engage with therapy and learning. Menus are adapted to individual sensory sensitivities and dietary needs, and mealtimes are used as an opportunity to build independence and social skills rather than treated purely as a break in the day. Physical activity, rest and quiet time are balanced throughout, so children are neither overstimulated nor under-occupied. This structure is reviewed regularly to make sure it still matches each child’s energy levels and preferences.

How is a Typical Day structured at Sitaray Residential?

Each day in residential care blends therapy, education and daily living practice, so a child’s routine looks similar to home, just with more consistent support built around it. Children move between ABA therapy sessions, speech therapy, occupational therapy and Early Intervention or Transition School activities depending on their individual programme, alongside set times for meals, rest and recreation. Life skills practice, such as dressing, hygiene and mealtime routines, is woven into the day rather than treated as a separate activity, which helps children generalise what they learn in therapy to everyday situations.
