The centre is considered a unique early intervention program and is the first of its kind in the Middle East to provide state-of-the-art comprehensive programs.  Supervised by a specialized team, the centre provides family-focused, trans-disciplinary assessment and early intervention services to children (from birth to 6 years) with disabilities and those prone to congenital abnormalities. In addition to that, it provides families and community with the appropriate support and educational services required.
