Every child has unique abilities. Though differently-abled children face challenges, their resilience unlocks windows of new opportunities.

Akbar Kare Institute strives to be that open window—providing them with the support, love, and guidance they need.

IMPROVING CHILDREN'S LIVES

WELCOME TO AKBAR KARE INSTITUTE

Founded in 2005 by a mother of a boy with profound disability, Akbar Kare Institute (AKI) is dedicated to transforming the lives of children with special needs, such as Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, muscular dystrophies and other neuro-developmental conditions. Driven by the belief that timely and compassionate care is essential, AKI provides comprehensive, free services to all, regardless of wealth, class, or creed. Our focus on Family-Centred Care (FCC) ensures that healthcare providers and caregivers collaborate closely, empowering them to be integral to the child’s developmental journey.
Over the years, AKI has grown to become a leading rehabilitation centre for children with neuro developmental disorders, serving over 24,000 children and their families. Our commitment to offering care in a playful, nurturing environment helps children reach their full potential. This approach has earned AKI widespread respect and recognition from healthcare professionals and communities both locally and internationally. By fostering hope and delivering high-quality care, AKI continues to set the standard for child rehabilitation.

Mission

To improve the lives of children with special needs and their families by empowering them to help their children be the best they can be, irrespective of their wealth, class, or creed.

PATRON'S MESSAGE

Akbar Kare Institute (AKI) was started for therapy for Cerebral Palsy (CP) which is a condition that is not understood very well in Pakistan and is hence one of the most neglected. In Pakistan, people have great feelings for the disabled but unfortunately, there is a lack of facilities, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). We know there is no cure, but there can be a great improvement in lives when children with CP get good attention from people who understand their problems.

In developed countries, it is the norm to cater to the disabled from birth to death. This includes initial diagnosis and assessment, medical care, therapy, education, and a chance for independent living. Most cities have to be disabled-friendly to facilitate easy commuting; the majority of public transport is wheelchair friendly. Public ramps, lifts, and special toilets are easily available. When we started AKI, we wanted to show that by using local resources we can begin the development that will let us emulate these examples.

Our Services

Early Intervention

AKI's Early Intervention (EI) program supports children from birth to three years who are not developing as expected, empowering parents to meet their child's needs.

Physical therapy

At AKI, our Physical Therapy program aims to optimise each child's potential and to enable children to function as independently as they possibly can.

Assistive Devices

We provide personalised assistive solutions to meet the unique needs of each family and child. From custom-made wheelchairs to specialised devices, we design and build everything around the child, ensuring a perfect fit.

Orthotics

At AKI, we have a fully functional orthotics workshop in addition to our casting and modification rooms.

Early Childhood Education

The Early Childhood Education team assesses the children and prepares customised plans for each child.

“When Armeen was assessed at AKI, they found her muscle tone very low. The team taught us exercises to incorporate into her daily routine. Thanks to their physiotherapy, Armeen started sitting, something we never expected. The best part is that AKI provides therapy not just for the children, but also for the parents. Whenever I feel low, visiting AKI fills me with positive energy and renewed motivation.”
