About Us
EZAutism is providing solutions across the autism spectrum.
Who are we?
Parents or caregivers often fear for their children. Diagnosis of special needs may be one of them. Autism diagnosis has a wide range of symptoms. These vary from person to person. Society in general and peers do not always readily accept differences.
Regardless of your location, through EZ Autism we hope to empower families to deal with the stress of the condition through its free online home screening tool and online diagnosis and child development platform.
Autism is a complex subject. EZAutism aims to build care capacity through its online training programs designed in collaboration with the University of Minnesota USA. These courses will be accredited by the University of Minnesota USA. The online training platform will help to build localized care services capacity to bring the solution closer to you.
Autism has no borders, and neither does EZAutism…

In Dr. Hoosain Ebrahim’s own word “Having been orphaned at the age of seven, I wanted to give my son everything I was not privileged with. My whole world came tumbling down when my son was diagnosed as a special needs child. I started questioning why me. My passion to pursue Learning Difficulties grew from my personal experiences when my son was diagnosed with ADHD, and a child with special needs. At one stage I was practically forced to put him on medication. Being a Psychologist and knowing the side effects of these schedule five drugs, I was not comfortable with this and very reluctantly conceded to this form of therapy. After a few months he stopped I stopped my son’s medication and started the appropriate behavior and occupational therapies together with a brain stimulation program. It was during these challenging times that I attended various courses which assisted me in understanding the psychology of children and their behavior. Today my son a young gentleman, happily married and is chief systems engineer for a top Canadian company. What initially started off as a personal enrichment program soon became a profession which led to my academic achievements. We need to shift away from labelling and think out of the box.”
