Frequently Asked Questions

  • Inner Circle Private Limited (ICPL), a concern of the SAJIDA Foundation, was established in 2017 to provide high-quality, evidence-based early intervention services for children with special needs and developmental delays.

    Located in Gulshan, Dhaka, our state-of-the-art facility spans over 8,000 square feet, designed to deliver structured, safe, and effective therapy in a professional environment. ICPL is recognized as Bangladesh’s first and only ISO 9001:2015-certified early intervention provider, reflecting our commitment to quality, consistency, and ethical practices.

  • We support children with a wide range of developmental and behavioural needs, including:

    • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    • ADHD and attention difficulties

    • Speech and language delays

    • Sensory processing challenges

    • Learning difficulties and school readiness concerns

    • Social communication and interaction difficulties

    • General developmental delays

    You don’t need a formal diagnosis to come to us. Many parents reach out simply because something feels off: their child isn’t talking yet, isn’t making eye contact, or is struggling at school. We’re happy to meet you wherever you are in the journey.

  • It’s one of the hardest questions a parent can ask, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure. Some signs that early intervention may help:

    • Your child isn’t meeting expected milestones for speech, social interaction, or play.

    • They have trouble managing emotions, transitions, or daily routines.

    • They struggle to focus, follow instructions, or keep up at school.

    • They’re sensitive to sounds, textures, or environments in ways that disrupt daily life.

    • Teachers, doctors, or family members have raised concerns.

    The truth is, you don’t have to be certain to reach out. A short screening with our team can give you clarity. Sometimes the answer is reassurance, and sometimes it’s an early start that makes all the difference. Research consistently shows that the earlier intervention begins, the better the outcomes.

  • We’ve kept it as simple as possible for parents:

    • Reach out. Call, email, or message us through our website or social media.

    • Initial screening. Our team meets with you and your child to understand what’s going on.

    • Personalised plan. We share recommendations, recommended therapy hours, and next steps.

    • Onboarding and initial month. Therapy begins and assessment happens alongside service during the first month, so your child starts receiving support right away while our team builds a clearer picture of their needs.

    You’re involved every step of the way. No decisions are made without you.

  • We offer a full range of evidence-based services from one team, so your child doesn’t have to bounce between centres:

    • ABA Therapy (Applied Behaviour Analysis): for skill-building, behaviour support, and learning readiness.

    • Occupational Therapy (OT): for motor skills, sensory regulation, and daily living skills.

    • Speech and Language Therapy (SLT): for communication, language development, and feeding.

    • Developmental assessments: to understand your child’s profile clearly.

    • School Readiness Programme: to prepare children for mainstream or inclusive schools.

    • Social Thinking Programme: for friendships, peer interaction, and social problem-solving.

    • School shadow support: trained shadow teachers who support children in their school setting.

    • Parent guidance and training, because you’re the most important therapist your child will ever have.

    • Child mental health consultation: for families navigating bigger emotional or behavioural concerns.

  • A few things parents tell us they value:

    A proven track record. We've delivered over 190,000 hours of therapy and served 800+ clients to date, with a team of 30+ therapists and experts across multiple disciplines.

    Qualified, certified therapists. Our team holds recognised credentials including QBA (Qualified Behavior Analyst), IBT (International Behavior Therapist), and RBT (Registered Behavior Technician), with speech therapists trained in approaches like TalkTools. Our occupational therapists are CRP-trained, with over 8 years of experience and proficiency in established OT tools and techniques. You're working with professionals held to international standards, not just local ones.

    Internationally supervised. Each department, including ABA, OT, and Speech & Language Therapy, is supervised by an international supervisor with over 15 years of experience, so quality is overseen at every level.

    One team, one plan. Your child's ABA, OT, and speech therapists actually talk to each other. We share goals, track progress together, and adjust as needed.

    Evidence over guesswork. Every plan is built on assessment data, using validated tools such as the Preschool Language Scales (PLS-5), the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (WebABLLS/ABLLS-R), the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS), and the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP), and reviewed regularly, not on a fixed curriculum.

    True one-to-one focus. All sessions are individual, 1:1, so your child gets the full attention they need.

    A space designed for children. Our centre at Celebration Point is calm, structured, and built with sensory needs in mind.

    Parents are partners. You get real updates, real guidance, and real conversations, not just monthly reports.

  • Yes, and not just generic ones. You’ll receive:

    • Regular progress feedback from your child’s therapy team.

    • Updates on the specific goals being worked on.

    • Practical strategies you can use at home.

    • Scheduled discussions with the clinical team about how things are going and what to do next.

    Parents who actively support what we’re doing at the centre see the fastest progress at home, so we keep you in the loop on purpose.
