we have the so called AESN Additional Educational Support Needs program at independent schools , although it is not implemented adequately it could be some how useful

Hi

I am a speech therapist . If you would like to render my services send me a message and I'll get back to you.

As for the schools you asked, the list given in the beginning are pretty much it. But I have heard that the ACS school located near lulu gharaffa are integrating some special needs children into their mainstream. They don't have a special needs section and it is difficult to get a seat. But you should try if that is what you want. The reason why most schools don't cater to special needs population is they don't have the resources, training or sources.. Maybe if the government establishes both setups and integration systems strictly in all schools, the children and parents will be hopeful and at peace.

As for Sunbeam they did have the special needs section but it closed down due to some licensing issues. But they still have the mainstream open where they have a few of the special needs children integrated. But since they cater to younger aged children, you might have to check with them. .

Also the is the awsaj school previously known as the learning center.

Hi Peter,

Just to let you know, we don't have main stream schools in Qatar. My son is 9year old diagnosed with Autistic disorder. He is going to Step by step & doing good. I am not sure if we would have mean stream school in Qatar in future. Anyway good luck.
