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.
