Hi Parul,

I wish to direct you to Qatar Institute for Speech & Hearing.Please contact them at 44122742.

That is very kind of you and thank you love. x

if there is any voluntary works on fridays, i will be happy to join.

i can't in the rest of the week due to work duty.

I play a very small part in it all. Don't get me started on talking about it as I can get quite boring lol :-)

good work cabbage, nice to know that you are part of this noble cause.

Times are changing in Doha with regards children with all special needs.

Last year Qatar signed a UN resolution regarding the care, treatment and education of children with special needs.

This takes into account any child with any disability from mild - to severe.

What is also going to happen in time; mainstream schools WILL have to take their fair share of children with special needs and support them within that environment. Training will be given to the teachers and TA’s on the best way forward with that particular child.

At present as far as I have seen, i.e. the ones I have visited; only 7 schools in Doha have an effective inclusion policy.

You may be interested in visiting an organisation called Mada (they are in West Bay).

There are people fighting for these children; I am one of them. We have our work cut out for us but we are passionate in our belief that every child has within them some capability and that it is the duty of all educators to support that child and help them achieve their potential.

I hope this reassures you; don’t give up- things are happening :-)

There is a new school called The Learning Center. It is affliated with Qatar Foundation. Excellent school, follows Qatar Academy curriculum. Western teachers all with degrees in special education.

'I am Sam' is a wonderful movie and i think everyone must see that for their own awareness and specially those whose children or anyone around have learning disability. I can suggest one more movie if you can see which is in Hindi, it's 'Taare Zameen Per'.

Cheers

Sam

hello guys,Im a filipino physiotherapist. parents should not be ashamed of having a child with special needs.If they dont do something about the condition of their child,they deprived the rights their child to have an education. In the Philippines there are more schools that caters children with special needs.If we educate them,they can be independent in time as they grow old.

Try to search for the movie I am Sam,its about a father with mild mental retardation who nurtura and love his child.He works a lot to earn for a living to help him send her child to school and to have better future.

This is a touching and heart pounding story how a mental challenged father strive to have her little girl.

Hope you like this film.

Lets help each other and not pretend that all of us are 100% perfect! Does anyone has homepage adress to Rumaillah hospital?

Can anyone advise me about Neuro pediatric clinics in the GCC for a 5 year old with CP and not walking yet?

Thank you

Thanks guys and girls, I have applied to the Shaffalah center, but I think it is for Arabic speaking teachers. HOPE at present has no place. Individual Parents do not come for such consultations. Let us hope for the best.

There are very few schools for children with special needs in Doha.

Al-Shaffah Center for Children with Special Needs is the only one which caters to all type of disabilities. It is located in West Bay near the Ritz Carton hotel.

Al Noor school for the Blind is for blind /low vision children. It is located opposite to Qatar Foundation.

There is a private school for children with special needs next to Abu Hammor petrol station.

HOPE Qatar is a not for profit organisation providing Help, Opportunity, Participation and Education (HOPE) for children with special education needs, and is an affiliated organization of Indian Cultural Centre.

Qatar Foundation & Sunbeam kindergarten also enroll children with special needs in certain cases.

Hospitals like Rumaillah have dept. for children with hearing loss / hearing / speaking problems. Training is also provided.

Also, don't type in caps. It's like you're shouting.

There are no schools for special needs children in Doha. Most Qatari parents will refuse to acknowledge that their children have a disability, especially learning disabilities, and the children are either kept home or forced through the system with no special help.
