TalkAbility Program in Dubai for Children with Social Communication Challenges
Helping Parents Support Advanced Communication and Social Skills
The “TalkAbility” program, developed by Hanen, is designed for parents of verbal children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or other social communication challenges. Offered at the Talking Brains Center in Dubai, this program helps children develop conversational and social skills such as empathy, understanding perspectives, and maintaining conversations.
Who Is This Program For?
The TalkAbility program is ideal for:
- Parents of verbal children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or related conditions.
- Families whose children struggle with social communication skills, such as taking turns in conversation or reading non-verbal cues.
- Caregivers who want to help their children connect better with others in social settings.
If your child faces challenges in understanding social cues or maintaining conversations, this program offers practical strategies to foster growth.
