Schools are the main issue for autistic kids in Qatar. Here Govt. schools are well equipped with all facilities and staff for such kids but these special needs centres are for the kids of local’s and Arabic expats special needs kids. Private institutes are for money making because they have very small setup with less staff but charging very heavy monthly or hourly fees.
Am the father of a 7years old Autistic kid who diagnosed as ADHD at the age of 3.5 year. I knock many Govt institutes for better advice and help in his education but no use. Now am spending almost 30% of my monthly income for his education in a private autism centre which is only one kind of therapy centre i.e. not a proper school. Because schools are not accepting my application. He is very very sharp minded and intelligent but due to his speech delay and costly institutes we are losing his talent.
