Special Needs Kids
Hi Dost,
From July I am starting for children with Special Needs, a small individual approach for families who need one to one attention for their children. Shaffalah and other centers are out of bounds for non-arabic teachers and it is difficult for parents from the EXPAT community to go to Shaffalah. Try your luck there also as they have huge funds.
Also Hope Qatar runs a place in ICA. That is a small unit independently by an NGO, but I am trying to start a uniit on a one to one basis with small kids upto the age of 12 years.
Any takers of this idea?? We see many articles in GT and long speeches but nothing to back up the issue for the large EXPAT community.

I have just returned back to the UK after getting our son into school for September 2008, I would recommend Cedars school for parents with children that need support.
Our son has mild ADHD and dyspraxia
We proposed to some of the Indian School managements, but the response is luke warm as they want the teacher to teach other subjects in other standards, the instituions are run as profit centers and not as an NGO (no-profit organisation) thus to set up on your own it is something which is a mission Impossible part 3.
Expats will have to suffer, please donot make the child feel let down, remember they have the same mature feelings and the same sensitive sense of love, anger and hunger do not go by the looks or their inability to learn, we know how much such children suffer child abuse and the most recent case of a mother committing suicide in Delhi proved the point as both her kids were Spastics and she was worried that nobody will be there to look after them once she is gone so she took the life of both the kids and herself by driving the car off the cliffs in the Ghats of HP.
We hope we have less high profile speeches and more of some ground action as it is being done at Shafflah center, which is one of the best I have seen in ASIA. Let us hope we have something for the expats in the near future.
what mr.desaim is saying correct - about those instituions who charge huge fees... and not offering equivalent what they take.
did you try, an expatriate Indian school ?... I heard they have students from different nationalites - philipines, india, bangladesh, tunisia, pakisthan ..... And charges are suitable to the pockets of middle-income expatriates....
no hype, no PR work, no newspaper news, not getting high donations from petroluem companies, foreign banks,,, still they try their best...
I don't understand - What EXACTLY do you want to do? I am interested but your posts does not make much sense. Please explain...........
I have tried to reply to my private messagges, but as you will see that the response is practically ZERO, in this case funds cannot be committed, parents themselves are not ready to bring their children and also the general public is not aware about the suffering or they try to keep the suffering to themselves.
Just watching Movies of AAMIR KHAN about Autism will not be any use forward action has to be takenby the parents and then only things will move.
