About SpecialLink
SpecialLink supports parents in Pakistan who are raising children with special needs. The site brings together resources by condition, a directory of organisations and services, funding and rights information, and a parent discussion space.
It is not a substitute for medical or clinical advice—it helps families find and use existing support. The project was developed collaboratively by the team below.
