ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sumaira Khan
I’m Sumaira Khan – a Pediatric Psychologist, Board Certified Behavior Analyst – Doctoral (BCBA-D), and a devoted advocate for children with Autism, ADHD, and other developmental needs.
Why Families Trust Me
With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked with hundreds of families, educators, and mental health professionals to create real change. Whether it’s designing inclusive educational strategies, supporting early intervention, or coaching overwhelmed parents, I bring a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and deeply personalized approach to every interaction.
My background is multidisciplinary: from Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to Special Education, Early Childhood Education, and Mental Health Counseling.
Credentials That Matter

- RBT – Registered Behavior Technician
- SEN TA (L3) – Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant (Level 3)
- ECE (SK) – Certified Early Childhood Educator
- SEKT – Special Education Knowledge Training
- WMHP – Workplace Mental Health Practitioner

What I Believe
I believe that every child deserves access to emotional safety, quality education, and the chance to be understood—not “fixed.” I believe that parents deserve resources, not blame. And I believe educators deserve tools that work in real classrooms, not just in theory.
Beyond the Therapy Room
I’m also a writer, poet, and researcher—using creative platforms to raise awareness around neurodiversity, caregiver advocacy, and emotional well-being. Whether I’m developing behavioral strategies or writing articles to educate communities, my mission remains the same: to empower families, educators, and neurodivergent individuals to thrive.
Biography
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
