April 2026- The Dubai Autism Center (DAC) has announced the adoption of a pioneering “dynamic approach” across its educational and rehabilitation services, becoming the first specialized institution in the Middle East to implement this advanced model.

This strategic shift underscores the Center’s vision to move beyond “formal accessibility”—which often limits support to standard physical facilities—toward “comprehensive adaptation.” Under this new framework, the educational environment functions as a living, responsive system that evolves based on a student’s sensory, behavioral, and emotional state. This ensures a safe and stimulating atmosphere that empowers students to reach their full potential.

Commenting on the transition, Mr. Mohammed Al Emadi, Director General and Board Member of the Dubai Autism Center, stated: “Adopting the Dynamic Approach reflects our strategic commitment to providing world-class services based on global best practices. We believe that empowering students with autism is not achieved through traditional, static services, but rather through a flexible educational ecosystem that adapts to their shifting needs. This initiative is a natural extension of our efforts to establish Dubai as a regional hub for the comprehensive rehabilitation of People of Determination.”

Highlighting the clinical and technical aspects, Dr. Nicholas Orland, Chief Program Officer at the Dubai Autism Center, noted that the newly adopted model is supported by the latest evidence-based practices in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), stating: “This approach integrates advanced ABA methodologies with flexible tools that allow us to design highly individualized interventions for each student. Our team has undergone extensive training to ensure the highest level of implementation fidelity and service quality.”
