Over a decade of compassionate care and child-centered service provision.
The Child Development Center (CDC) is the pioneering multidisciplinary special needs center in Qatar, which has been a beacon of hope, progress, and resilience for families and children navigating the journey of autism since 2013.
CDC provides a network of internationally qualified and licensed professionals who offer child-centered and evidence-based therapy for children with autism, speech delays, and related developmental disorders.
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary we are filled with gratitude for the trust of our families and our community, the relentless dedication and compassion of our professional team, and the remarkable progress of the children we have been honored to serve.
12 Years of commitment to Qatar’s Special Needs Community
In 2013, we embarked on a mission to provide high quality therapeutic services for children with autism and developmental disorders in Qatar and to foster a supportive community.
Over the years, Child Development Center (CDC) has facilitated countless advocacy initiatives, actively promoting and facilitating inclusion practices in the community through various initiatives.
We have hosted yearly informative conferences, symposiums and workshops to increase Autism awareness and acceptance as well to bring together the special needs community and promote collaboration amongst us.
Since its establishment CDC participated in several research projects, locally and internationally, contributing to important breakthroughs such as the Autism prevalence study in Qatar and the efficacy of diagnostic tools amongst others.
12 years on, we are honored to have supported hundreds of families, helped children find their voice, connect with their surroundings and achieve their full potential.
As the pioneering multidisciplinary therapy center for children with special needs in Qatar, the work continues. As therapeutic practices evolve, CDC invests in the continuous professional development of our therapists as well the adoption of new curriculums and evidence based methodologies ensuring we are up to date with the latest global evidence based practices.
