Teaching, healing and connecting as Emirates supports Autism

With World Autism Awareness Day approaching, the Emirates Airline Foundation has put the spotlight on the hurdles that children with autism faced in the last year, and the important role that special educational institutions play in ensuring these children fulfil their potential by providing them with access to the programmes and resources they needed.

The Safe Centre for Autism opened its new facility for children’s special education needs in 2019, only to shut its doors to support the UAE government’s efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19. The 2020 school closures presented unique challenges for many children and young adults, but it was particularly disruptive to children on the autism spectrum who thrive on routine and stability.
During the pandemic, Safe Centre team was on hand to support parents, providing online instruction to children where possible and guiding parents with practical, safe strategies and activities to help meet the sensory and motor needs of their children while at home.

When it was time to come back to Safe Centre, the team helped transition the children to return to their educational settings successfully with a special two month programme. The programme included dividing students into different groups, focusing on one to one activities, as well as directly teaching, modelling and practicing routines and behaviours to alleviate student anxiety as they returned to their educational settings.

. The school is currently supporting 52 students on the autism spectrum, facilitating classes and sessions for four students per classroom in accordance with Covid-19 precautionary measures. All safety measures and hygiene standards continue to be adhered to in the classrooms and across the Safe Centre facilities.

Support of the newly built Safe Centre facilities is part of Emirates Airline Foundation’s positive work that supports communities in providing children with opportunities to realise their full potential.
The Emirates Airline Foundation has been supporting Safe Centre since 2012, and more recently helped fund its new 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art facilities to accommodate and support more than 100 children. Safe Centre moved into its new facility in January 2019, after construction was completed on the new building.

The Safe Centre facilities include 12 classrooms, which are all connected to their own private, small play areas and restrooms so teaching staff can easily observe students practicing daily hygiene activities. In addition, all classrooms are equipped with their own smart boards, telecommunications tools and a number of other resources that are readily available to be used at any time. There are also three speech and occupational therapy rooms, equipment rooms, designated sensory areas, a library, dining rooms, indoor and outdoor play areas, a swimming pool, music and art facilities, a vocational room, as well as a conference room, clinic and nurse station.

Safe Centre has also been working with the Ministry of Community Development to add two new services, which include vocational training and teaching of life skills to enable those with autism to productively enter the workforce. Safe Centre is also providing one to one sessions to provide speech and occupational therapy, which are both essential for students with autism. Safe Centre also has a resident Board Certified Behaviour Analyst who supervises and actively manages the children’s progress to ensure that they are achieving their goals.
The Safe Centre is currently utilising the VB-MAPP curriculum, which is designed specifically for children with autism.
Established in 2010, the Safe Centre for Autism is a not-for-profit, special education centre that caters for students who struggle with behavioural or developmental difficulties, Autism , speech and language delays, and sensory deficits.
