North City Centre for Early Intervention and Inclusive Education
Seven specialist departments: assessment, early intervention, school readiness, inclusive education, individual sessions, family counselling and awareness.
Psycho-educational assessment of students using a set of standardised tests, such as:
Integrated services that develop children's skills and reduce the impact of difficulties and disability on their future and their families'. The programme centres on guiding mothers and training them to work with their child, and offers a readiness programme for nursery and kindergarten across motor, cognitive, social and communication, speech and language, and behavioural development.
For children whose difficulties keep them from regular kindergarten classes — training, support and every service they need to join their peers in kindergarten.
For students whose difficulties keep them from a regular classroom, with every service that prepares them to join their peers.
For students in regular classes from Grade 1 to Grade 10 whose difficulties affect their achievement without preventing inclusion. Support is delivered flexibly:
Specialist rooms for students with significant difficulties in Arabic, English or Mathematics; the number of sessions follows each student's needs.
For mild difficulties: the support teacher guides the student to learn directly from the class teacher.
For students with combined difficulties: a companion teacher supports them for a set period until they are independent, then gradually withdraws.
Services for the wider community — children and students not enrolled at the academy — as individual sessions or assessments, from birth to 16: learning difficulties, developmental disorders, physical and intellectual disabilities, autism, and behavioural or psychological challenges.
Psychological and educational counselling for families whose children face difficulties adapting to daily life, and training in how to support their child and manage the effect on family life.
Raising awareness about disability and the rights, abilities and characteristics of people with disabilities, challenging stereotypes and misconceptions, and turning society's attitudes positive.
Our team
The centre is run by an experienced multidisciplinary team who work with students with academic difficulties and disabilities and support their inclusion in school — believing in their abilities and their right to learn in a healthy, inclusive environment.
