Individualised programmes that build attention, memory, reasoning and problem-solving, so learning becomes possible and enjoyable.
Many children in Jordan need extra support before learning becomes possible: a child who cannot hold attention for more than a minute, forgets what was learned yesterday, or mixes up letters and numbers despite obvious intelligence. At Ostathna in Amman we treat these difficulties as skills that can be built, not permanent barriers.
Our learning and cognitive skills service targets the foundations every later learning rests on: joint and sustained attention, working memory, imitation, visual and auditory discrimination, categorisation and concept understanding, and following instructions. We then move on to early academic skills, from letters, sounds and counting to reading, writing and numeracy, at the pace each child can manage.
The programme suits children with learning difficulties, developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, as well as children who need preparation before starting school or support alongside it. We coordinate with the school when needed so that skills move from the session room into the classroom.
Step by step
One or two sessions in which we measure attention, memory and current academic skills, and listen to the family and the school.
Specific, measurable goals ordered by priority, reviewed with you before we begin.
One-to-one or small-group sessions using evidence-based teaching methods, with data recorded in every session.
Parent coaching, school coordination, and a regular report showing what has been mastered and what comes next.

Yes. A diagnosis is not required to start; the assessment session identifies strengths and needs, and if we see a need for a specialist medical or psychological evaluation we will refer you.
We work with children and adolescents of all ages, and suitability is confirmed after the assessment. The earlier support starts the greater its effect, but progress is possible at any age.
Yes, when the family wishes. We share goals and successful strategies with teachers so the child receives the same support in class.
That depends on the assessment results and the plan's goals; we agree on the number and length of sessions with you before starting and adjust them as progress dictates.
