The Doris Duan - Young Autism Center, Dubai, UAE

"My Haven of Peace" DDy is more than just a center to me; it's a true haven for my child. After a very unpleasant experience at another center, I discovered DDY through an Instagram post highlighting little Scarlet's incredible progress. I contacted them immediately and was pleasantly surprised by Ms. Hadeel's professionalism and kindness. This is my opportunity to thank you all! Ms. Inas Ktaech, Ms. Hadeel, Anna from the reception, therapists Louise and Regine, and all the DDy staff.The team is attentive, professional, and deeply compassionate. The well-being of each child is paramount; they are respected and supported. Today, I see Mahmoud's progress, and I can assure you that a simple "Thank you" cannot express my deep gratitude.Every small step is a victory, and all of this is possible because Mahmoud feels fulfilled and happy to go there. I recommend DDY not just because it's a center, but because it's a center where everyone who works there cares about children and gives them love.

As a mother, finding the right therapy center for my child was not easy, and this experience truly mattered to us. From the first assessment, I felt that my kid was seen as a person, not just a diagnosis, and the team took their time to truly understand him. The center clearly follows internationally recognized therapy protocols, and it’s obvious they know what they are doing. The therapists are knowledgeable, experienced, and highly skilled, something I personally observed through their work, not just words. To add, I deeply appreciate how gently and respectfully the therapist works with my son, with patience, warmth, and a real focus on building trust. The progress he made there in just 6 months was truly amazing. Alhamdulillah... Communication with parents has been also honest and supportive, and I truly value the workshops, weekly parent training sessions, and outdoor trips that make therapy feel more natural and enjoyable. For us, DDY became more than just a therapy center; it felt like a space where both our child and we as parents were genuinely supported.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing team at Doris Duan-Young Autism Center! It's been 4 months since we joined, and we are absolutely thrilled with the incredible service and support provided to our dear son. The entire team has been phenomenal, but I want to extend special thanks to Ms. Hadeel, Ms. Inas (Clinical Director), Mr. Gerald, Niño, Lyka, and Danya. Your dedication, expertise, and kindness have made a profound impact on our son’s journey, and we're so grateful to have you all in his life. We've witnessed significant improvements our son’s communication, social skills, and overall confidence, and it's truly a testament to the center's holistic approach and the team's unwavering commitment. Your passion and compassion shine through in every interaction, and it's clear that you truly care about each child's well-being and success. The Facilities are top-notch with a comfortable and engaging environment that includes sensory rooms, play areas, and observation rooms for parents to monitor sessions. We also appreciate the regular updates and videos of the sessions which help us stay informed and involved in our son’s progress. The training and support provided to parents and caregivers are invaluable, empowering us to reinforce skills at home and support our son’s on going development. Please know that your hard work and devotion have not gone unnoticed. You're making a real difference in our lives and we're forever grateful for that. Thank you again for all that you do. We're so blessed to be part of the Doris Duan-Young Autism Center family!

My son has been going to DDY for about a year now and we’ve had a great experience. We have seen amazing strides in his abilities. Staff have always been accommodating and supportive. Never once have we questioned their intentions or care for my son. Would recommend it to any parent in need of sound advice and a safe place to support their child’s development.

After trying different centers in Dubai we finally landed in DDY and we start to see some progress. We are very happy with the service received. They are professional, flexible and make the therapy fun for the kiddos.
