  "account": "A private school in Karachi’s Soldier Bazaar is offering free education, speech therapy, and training to children with autism, enabling them to acquire essential skills and engage in community activities. Students from across the city attend the center, where instructors design personalized learning and recreational programs based on each child’s unique abilities and requirements. School officials emphasize the importance of patience and consistency in supporting children with autism, as some may require extra time and help to feel at ease with daily routines. In addition to academic instruction, the institution provides opportunities for children to engage in outdoor activities and extracurricular programs designed to promote their mental and physical growth. Furthermore, the school takes the children to PMA House’s garden, where they can spend time outdoors and participate in activities that interest them. According to the administration, these outings have resulted in positive changes in the children’s behavior and increased their independence in performing everyday tasks. Instead of expecting uniform progress, the initiative emphasizes customized education and support, aiming to help children build upon their skills and become more active contributors to society.",
