Abu Dhabi Autism/Special Needs support + services
Hi there,
We'll be moving to Abu Dhabi from Al Ain this September and I'm trying to get a sense of the city and what will be available to suit my family's needs. (You may have seen my other post about a search for an affordable health club/pool club for my family)
My son is about to turn 2 and we suspect (along with his doctor) that he may be on the autism spectrum, though high functioning. We are sort of in a wait-and-see mode for now, but I'm trying to put together an idea of services or resources in Abu Dhabi that would be available to us as expats should he need occupational and speech therapy or some sort of special needs support.
The information that I've found on the web is spotty and outdated. If there is anyone out there who has any info about services or centers for autistic expat children I'd be so appreciative.
Any doctors/therapists recommended? Centres for occupational or speech therapy? Preschools/kg or schools that offer places for children with autism or special needs? (we are thinking of sending our son to the Canadian international school when he is old enough, but don't know much about the school yet).
Support groups? Social groups?
Really any information is helpful at this point. I'm just beginning to feel my way through all of this, it is quite daunting.
Thanks again!
;)
