Dubai launches autism-friendly kits for Ramadan support

Dubai has launched a new initiative to support children with autism during Ramadan. The Dubai Autism Centre (DAC) will distribute autism-friendly kits to help families manage sensory challenges in public spaces, promoting inclusion and participation in social events. The kits aim to empower children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ease their families' experiences during gatherings. They will be available through DAC's official channels and at various certified autism-friendly locations across Dubai. This initiative aligns with the UAE's 'Year of the Community' goals and the National Policy for Empowering People of Determination. The DAC has been providing specialized services for children with autism since 2001.
