Dubai Autism Centre Launches Autism-Friendly Kits for Ramadan & Eid
The initiative will provide autism-friendly kits to help children navigate social settings and public events.
Families of children with autism in Dubai will soon have access to a new tool designed to help manage sensory challenges in public spaces. The Dubai Autism Centre (DAC) has launched an initiative aimed at supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by providing them with autism-friendly kits, enabling greater participation in social and public events.
In line with the ‘Year of the Community’ and the #RamadanInDubai campaign, the initiative seeks to enhance the inclusion and empowerment of individuals with autism, particularly during significant occasions such as Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr. It also aligns with the National Policy for Empowering People of Determination and the ‘My Community … A City for Everyone’ initiative, which aims to make Dubai more accessible and disability-friendly.
Parents interested in obtaining the autism-friendly kits can apply through the Dubai Autism Centre’s official communication channels.
Since its establishment in 2001, the Dubai Autism Centre has been a leading non-profit organisation dedicated to providing specialised educational, psychological, and rehabilitative support for children with autism and their families. In September 2022, the centre introduced the Autism-Friendly Certification Programme (AFCP), the first of its kind in the region, designed to recognise organisations that implement higher accessibility standards for individuals with autism.
