Quran Classes for Children with Additional Needs

Many parents of autistic children, or children with ADHD, dyslexia or a speech delay, tell us the same story: a noisy room, a teacher with twenty other children, and a child who was labelled difficult, fell behind, or was quietly asked not to come back. The child wanted to learn. The setting was the problem.

A one-to-one online class changes the setting. There is no crowded room, no waiting for a turn, and no other children watching. Your child learns at home, somewhere they already feel safe, with one teacher whose attention is on them for the whole lesson.

We are a Quran academy, not a therapy service, and our teachers are not special-education specialists. What we do offer is the format many children with additional needs do best in: one-to-one, predictable, and patient. Tell us about your child when you book — what helps, what upsets them, how they communicate — and the teacher will work with that from the first class.

Most children begin with the Noorani Qaida: one Arabic letter at a time, the sound it makes, then joining letters into words. It is broken into very small steps, which suits children who need repetition and clear structure. Some children are ready for the Quran itself; some spend longer on the basics. Both are fine. Progress is measured against your child, not against anyone else.

For children who find reading hard, many families also add short surahs and daily duas learned by listening and repeating, so the child is connecting with the Quran even while reading is still developing.

The first 3 classes are free and no card is taken. That is usually enough to see whether your child settles with the teacher and the format. Classes are 30 minutes and run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can choose the time of day your child is at their best. Paid plans start at $39 / £30 a month, with no contract and a 10% discount for siblings.
