Behavior Assessment is a structured clinical evaluation that helps understand a child's behavior, communication, and developmental profile to identify concerns such as autism, ADHD, speech delay, or developmental differences. This service is conducted by Mrs. Asha Susan Mani, a BCBA (USA)-certified Behavior Analyst with over two decades of clinical experience in child development. The aim is to give parents clear understanding and actionable next steps when they are unsure about their child's development or behavior.
Especially helpful for families seeking clarity or a second opinion before starting therapy or further evaluation.

“Mrs. Asha was my child's behaviour analyst consultant for over a year, and she has been extremely supportive and professional throughout our journey. My daughter, Maryam Al Mansoori, initially had difficulties with communication, following instructions, and managing certain behaviours at home and school. Mrs. Asha made ABA strategies simple by breaking them into clear, easy-to-follow steps that we could apply in daily routines and family life. This made it much easier for us as parents to stay consistent and support Maryam's progress at home. She was always responsive to messages and helped us find practical solutions whenever new behaviors came up, even if they were outside the original program. I always felt comfortable reaching out because she genuinely listened to parental concerns and focused on what Maryam needed in real-life situations. Mrs. Asha also organized regular monthly review meetings to observe Maryam's progress, monitor the therapist's implementation, and ensure consistency in intervention. She carefully reviewed data, guided the team in adjusting strategies, and ensured goals were updated based on progress. She was punctual, consistent, and never cancelled sessions. Her structured approach, combined with her caring attitude, made a noticeable difference in Maryam's behavior, communication, and daily routine. We are very grateful for her support and highly recommend her to families looking for behavior therapy services in Dubai.”
“I'm a parent going to the ABA Center for my son who has speech delay. It was Ms. Asha Mam's effort that my son has been able to go to mainstream school, and he has adjusted to the school. We are able to see so many positive changes in him day by day. He started learning and speaking new words faster. The most important thing which we like is the coordination of Speech Therapy and Behavior Team. Speech Therapist constantly getting support from the other departments, which brings a very successful output.”
“My son was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old, now he is 4. From past 1 year we had sent him for ABA Therapy. Asha is bright light for us, she guided us in the right direction. Now he's more responsive and demonstrative and has more appropriate behaviors. Ms. Asha is always hopeful for my son's progress. She also shares with me techniques to deal with difficult behavior and recommend things that I could do to work with my son.”
“My Daughter has so much of behavioral issues, very low eye contact, attention deficit and hyper active issues and also never interacts with other students in the class room. When she joined the school in KG-1, the school principal and counselor advised us her to send for the "Behaviour therapy". My daughter started ABA therapy, and now she is having very good improvement in all areas and now she is studying in a mainstream school in KG-2. We are taking this opportunity to thank "Ms. Asha" and appreciate her talents and sincerity in her profession.”
“My son turned 4 years last month and started his schooling from September. During his first few days in school, we were notified by teachers about his lack of attention towards class teacher and certain other behavioral issues. We approached ABA Center who is having a reputed behavioral analyst and started her therapy sessions. During the sessions, Ms. Asha continuously interacts with my son in her various professional methods resulting in improved focus and speech. We have noticed marked improvement in my son's behavior and concentration thereby eliminating the school's complaints. We thank Ms. Asha Madam for her effort and guiding us in right direction to give us peace of mind and securing my child's future.”
“Asha is amazing! We went to the centre for speech and ABA after knowing about Asha from a friend. She is a board-certified behavior analyst — one of the first in the UAE — and really a God-gifted person, very sincere in her job. My son was non-verbal and autistic. After one week itself I started noticing the difference; in two months he started talking and his behavioural issues settled a lot. Now he is studying in one of the leading CBSE schools in Dubai. If you are looking for a truly experienced behavior analyst in Dubai, she is the best.”
