For over 14 years, I have been dedicated to supporting children and families in the journey of overcoming the challenges associated with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, and learning difficulties.
The idea for Mind Connection took shape after years of working hands-on with children, families, and professionals across various cultures and settings. Early in my career, I saw first-hand the profound impact that structured support and understanding could have on children with autism and developmental challenges, but I also saw a gap—a lack of consistent, high-quality, individualised support that families and professionals could rely on, especially when navigating complex behavioural and learning needs
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy is a fun, engaging, and evidence-based approach to helping children learn new skills, overcome challenges, and thrive in everyday life. At Mind Connection, I focus on making learning enjoyable and meaningful for your child, no matter their starting point
By breaking down complex skills into small, manageable steps, I create a supportive learning environment where every achievement is celebrated. The more fun and rewarding learning is, the more motivated your child will be to practice new skills!
At Mind Connection, I offer specialized **home-based ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) programs** designed to support your child’s unique developmental needs in the comfort and familiarity of their home environment. With over 14 years of experience, my goal is to create a structured, personalized program that addresses your child’s specific challenges while promoting growth in communication, social, and academic skills.
As a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), I understand that not every family has access to in-person support. That’s why I offer comprehensive remote consultation services to help you navigate your child’s behaviour and learning needs from the comfort of your home.
I am based in Dubai, UAE**. However, I am happy to travel for observations and assessments, providing my services to families and schools not only throughout the UAE but also to surrounding countries as needed.
I hold a master’s degree in **Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)** and am a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) certified by the Behaviour Analyst Certification Board (BACB). With over 14 years of experience working with children with autism and developmental delays, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based support.
The best time to start Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy is as early as possible. Early intervention can lead to significant improvements in a child’s development, especially during critical developmental stages. Addressing challenges early allows for more effective skill-building and enhances the likelihood of achieving important milestones.
To get started, simply reach out through my website, or contact information. I will schedule an initial consultation to discuss your child’s needs and goals. During this consultation, we will explore the best approach to develop a personalised plan tailored to your family’s unique situation.
It may be necessary for you to find your own therapists to implement the plans, depending on the number of hours your child needs therapy. I can also train parents and nannies to carry out the therapy effectively at home, ensuring consistency and continuity in your child’s learning.
I work with children aged 18 months to young adults, addressing the needs of those with autism, developmental delays, and learning difficulties. My services are designed to meet the unique needs of each learner, regardless of their starting point.
While a formal diagnosis can be helpful in understanding your child’s needs, it is not always necessary to begin ABA therapy. I work with families to assess their child’s challenges and develop appropriate interventions, regardless of whether a diagnosis has been made. If you have concerns about your child’s development, reaching out for support is always a good step.
The timeline for seeing results can vary depending on the individual child and their specific goals. Many families begin to notice positive changes within a few weeks of consistent ABA therapy, especially when interventions are implemented regularly and consistently.
Research suggests that for significant results, children benefit from at least 15 hours of ABA therapy per week. However, the exact number of hours should be tailored to your child’s unique needs and goals. During our consultation, we will discuss what works best for your family.
Yes, ABA therapy can be implemented in various settings, including home, school, and community environments. I work collaboratively with families and educators to ensure consistency and effectiveness across different contexts.
I incorporate play-based and interactive methods into my ABA therapy sessions. By using games, toys, and engaging activities, I make learning fun and motivating for children, which encourages participation and skill acquisition.
Therapy sessions are typically conducted one-on-one to provide individualised attention and support. However, in school settings group sessions can also be arranged to facilitate social skills development and peer interaction, depending on your child’s needs.
I provide training and resources for parents and caregivers to reinforce learning at home. Consistency is key, and I’ll share practical strategies that you can incorporate into your daily routine to support your child’s growth and development.
