Her work spans both in-person and virtual formats, including school visits, webinars, and online consultations. Always evolving, she is now expanding her impact by launching a learning center that merges therapy and education under one roof.

With years of hands-on experience and a heart for learning, Aliya continues to shape brighter futures—one family at a time.
