options for special needs children

My husband is expecting to accept a job offer teaching in Qatar. I have a couple questions if I could ask for your guidance. One, are Individual Education Plans (from the USA) honored. My son has multiple needs including s/l.

Second, I am a Bachelor's level SLPA in the states. I do have a Msed, but not in speech. Do they hire BS level speech?

Thanks so much for your time.

I will contact u as soon as we are back after vecation, thank u

Look them up online by Googling Cedars Qatar.

Hi, Expatq,

I'm conducting a One-on-one Special Intervention (private teaching/home based) to special needs children from different nationalities here in Qatar. I've worked before in Speech Therapy Department, Rumailah Hospital handling English Speaking patients from different nationalities. I'm the first and only Filipino who had worked in the said department.

In case your interested you can contact me on my mobile no. 66841443.

Thanks.

Hi sophie2012,

I can be of help for tutoring. Have years of experience teaching LD students. You can send me a message on [email protected] if you are interested.

I have a son 6 year old, with, hyperactivity, and language difficulties and associated learning difficulties. He is attending a British school with a shadow teacher. But I am also looking at different options where he can have better academic support. Most schools in Doha claims to have learning support programs and inclusion policy on their website, but after contacting all of them I have realized that they do not accept students even with mild difficulties and discourage from applying. Learning center and shafflha is mostly for Qatari children with serious challenges. I feel that if parents as a group can approach some of these schools with reasonable number of students, they can persuade the schools to accommodate students with disabilities and provide professional help

Thanks Dina...I sent you an email. Would love to chat. I am in the U.S. (until August)

Hi there,

I am also in a similar situation with a child with special needs and coming to Doha in the Fall in Education City. I'd love to talk to you, if you are the US. My email is [email protected]. I also want to hear about resources in Doha.
