  SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOLS - UAE
 

Special needs schools throughout the UAE tend to be not for profit charitable organizations taking expatriate children as well as the local population. These rely on volunteer workers as well as staff and raise donations in order to help with the fees. They are non governmental. At the same time there are special needs schools for the local population receiving government assistance.

Some main stream schools can offer assistance for those with Dyslexia, ADHD, Behavioural Disorders and Autistic traits as well as providing space for the physically challenged in a wheel chair and we have tried to list some of them below.

All of these schools do summer schools and sports days.

The future Center does its Special Olympics annually for its students.
