About Flap and Play Kangaroos
Our mission is to nurture potential and celebrate every milestone in a child's journey with autism.
Our Philosophy at Flap and Play Kangaroos
we believe in the power of connection, compassion, and individualized growth. Rooted in lived experience and professional dedication, our philosophy centers on supporting children with autism in a way that honors their unique strengths, respects their pace, and fosters joyful, meaningful development.
We recognize that every child is different—and so are their needs, interests, and learning styles. That’s why we approach our work through a holistic lens, combining evidence-based strategies like ABA with creative, sensory-rich, and emotionally supportive experiences including art, play, and mindful connection.
A Message from Our Founder
Shakila Mahboobi-Tamijani
When my child was diagnosed with autism at just one year old, my world changed forever. Like many parents, I went through a journey of shock, grief, and confusion — but also love, acceptance, and strength. Facing the reality was not easy. The daily challenges, navigating public spaces, and the lack of awareness and support in society were overwhelming.
But those challenges shaped me. I felt them not just emotionally, but deep in my bones. And through this journey, I found a purpose: to turn our struggles into support for others.
I founded this company to be a voice, a resource, and a helping hand for families like ours. My mission is simple — to build a space where understanding, compassion, and practical support can make a real difference in the lives of people affected by autism.
This is more than a company. It’s my way of giving back, with all my heart.
