National Newspaper –Sept ,10,2011

Not all parents have been so lucky. One mother from Pakistan whose son, aged 2, attends the Child Early Intervention Medical Centre in Dubai, says: "I know I will have a problem finding a school that will accept my son."

Dr Hibah Shata, the managing director of the Child Early Intervention Medical Centre, says many schools find excuses, such as a lack of space or facilities, to turn down special-needs children.

"Many parents e-mailed us with reasons given to them by the school for not accepting their children," Dr Shata says.

But she found some cause for optimism in the KHDA's new inspection guidelines, which place an emphasis on special-needs education and have already led some schools to take the initiative.

"We are trying to work with the authorities to develop a committee to look at how integration can be made possible in schools," Dr Shata says.
