Any services for young children with language needs/mental health issues in Doha?

Hi,
It looks like my husband and I will be moving to Doha...I'm a special ed teacher trying to figure out work prospects. I've heard about the state run school but are there any other centers there? I like my work and am hoping to continue in this field if we move to Doha. I see from other posts that spl. ed is in its infancy. Are there other centers which offer a more challenging degree of work? Are there any mental health services available in schools (regular or not)? Do people also set up private practice? Any information will be appreciated:)
Thank you.

I think the Shaffalah Center is who you would need to contact.
