In a landmark initiative reinforcing Sharjah's commitment to inclusive education, the Sharjah Center for Learning Disabilities has unveiled the UAE's first comprehensive guide addressing learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Titled “Integrated Services for Learning Disabilities and ADHD: Standards and Procedures,” the pioneering publication was launched during a ceremony on Tuesday at the Sharjah Education Academy in the presence of senior officials and education experts.

The integrated guide for learning disabilities and ADHD represents years of dedicated effort and serves as the UAE's first standardised reference unifying concepts and practices for learning disabilities and ADHD.

The guide is an essential tool and resource for all teachers, psychologists, parents, and healthcare/ education professionals.

The guide is a science-based roadmap covering early challenge identification, diagnostic procedures, personalised intervention plans, effective educational models, behaviour modification techniques and offers both classroom and home support strategies. The guide draws from extensive global research reviews and offers a practical focus with the help of real case studies and adaptable education plans.
