Autism Society launches early intervention programme for children with autism spectrum disorder
The event took place at the Ali bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena at Al Sadd Sports Club.
This programme is a pioneering initiative aimed at providing specialised services tailored to the individual needs of children with autism spectrum disorder. It contributes to enhancing their motor, cognitive, and behavioral abilities while also reflecting the state's commitment to comprehensive care and social integration for this group.
The programme targets children between the ages of 3 and 14 by offering a comprehensive training and therapeutic environment that includes individualized sessions across four main areas: behavior modification, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and special education.
The Qatar Autism Society oversees the administrative and technical aspects of the program, including the provision of qualified staff, equipped facilities, and essential training materials.
In its initial phase, the programme, supported by multiple organizations, is set to accommodate 120 children, with Qatari nationals making up approximately 40 percent of the participants, and future expansion will be considered based on capacity.

Sheikh Joaan's candidature for OCA presidency represents Arab ambition: ACRF
Tribune News Network Doha The Arab Camel Racing Federation (ACRF), headed by Abdullah Al Kuwari and members of its Executive Committee, announced its full support for the candidacy of Qatar Olympic Committee President His Excellency Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani for presidency of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) in the elections scheduled to be held early next year. In an official statement, the federation affirmed that this support stems from 'a firm conviction that the next phase of Asian sports requires leadership with experience, vision, and international standing, fully aware of the diversity of the continent and the unique characteristics of its people, and a balance between development and sporting and cultural identity.' The statement stressed that the federation, which includes a wide Arab membership spanning from the Gulf to the Atlantic, views Sheikh Joaan's candidacy as a real opportunity to redefine the relationship between sports and identity in Asia, in line with the aspirations, history, and conscience of the people. It noted that His Excellency Sheikh Joaan 'has a strong presence in the sporting scene, supporting major events and sports deeply rooted in the popular conscience, such as camel racing, which represents a profound cultural and heritage dimension.' ACRF emphasized that supporting this candidacy represents not only a Qatari position, but also 'a sincere Arab ambition that believes that sports are the voice and memory of the people, not just medals and races.' The Arab Federation for Camel Racing is a unifying platform for camel racing across the Arab world. It seeks to preserve the cultural heritage associated with camel racing, while supporting its organizational and field development at the regional and international levels.
