Al Noor Centre in Dubai Directory

The Al Noor Training Centre For Children With Special Needs opened its doors in Dubai on November 21st, 1981, starting with only eight children. Currently we serve 220 children and look forward to accommodating up to 300 children in the new facility. The Centre runs under the auspices of the Ministry of Social Affairs. An appointed Board of Governors formulates the governing policies, which are then implemented by the Director of the Centre. This website sets out the aims of the Centre, the way in which classes are grouped and the goals and aspirations of the Therapy Departments and Vocational Programmes at Al Noor. Whilst every school needs the discipline of structure based on chronological age, we are acutely aware of the need to be very flexible in our dealings with our Special Needs Childen. At all times we aim to meet the individual needs-and maximise the potential of each and every one of our children. We stress the importance of working with parents to create a harmony between home and school, and to ensure that we are all working towards mutual goals. Parents attend parent-teacher meetings twice each year when they have an opportunity to meet every member of the multi-disciplinary team dealing with their child at Al Noor. On-going professional development and in-house training are stressed to maintain the quality of the programme.
