Autism consultation in Dubai is a structured developmental assessment that helps understand a child's communication, social interaction, and behavior. It is often chosen by parents noticing speech delay, limited eye contact, or nursery/school concerns, to get clarity on development and the right next steps.
It is especially helpful for families who want early clarity before starting therapy or further assessments.
Understanding concerns, developmental history, and current challenges.
Review of speech, communication, behavior, play, and social interaction patterns.
Observation of the child's behavior to identify strengths and possible developmental concerns.
Assessment of whether the presentation aligns with typical development, delay, or risk indicators.
A clear, practical plan: developmental clarity report, therapy recommendations (if required), home-based support strategies, and a school/nursery guidance plan.
Why early action matters. Early developmental concerns are best understood and supported when identified early, especially during the critical early childhood years when communication and learning pathways are rapidly developing.
Clinical experience in pediatric developmental care shows that early guidance can help by supporting stronger communication and language development over time, improving attention, learning readiness, and classroom participation, reducing widening developmental gaps as the child grows, and helping build better social interaction and adaptive skills.
Early clarity allows parents to make informed, confident decisions about the right support at the right time, without unnecessary delay or confusion.
“Asha is amazing! We went to Austin center for speech and ABA after knowing about Asha from one of our church friend. She is a board certified behavior analyst (I think one of the first board certified person in UAE) and really a god gifted person who is very sincere in her job. My son who was non-verbal and autistic. After one week itself I started noticing the difference, In two months he started talking and his behavioral issues are settled a lot. Now he is studying in one of the leading CBSE school in Dubai. I can very well say my experience with other centers that, they have one of the best Speech and language Therapy department in Dubai. All their therapist are real good. If you are looking for indian speech therapist in Dubai, they are the best. Best wishes from Parent of Vivian.”
“It's been a great experience we had at Austin center from the day one till today. As a parent of child with autism we were very particular that our child should get service from a highly qualified and experienced person in the field of autism and ABA. On the first day itself we were happy because of the fact that all our concerns were very clearly answered by Ms. Asha Susan. We verified her credentials and extremely happy to know that she has 15 years of experience with autistic children and she finished her education in US universities and is certified by the Board of Behavior Analysis, USA. The therapists are experienced and let us inside the therapy rooms at times which is really helpful for us. Unlike other centers, my child's speech therapy and Behavior sessions are monitored very frequently by Ms. Asha on a regular basis which make the treatment much effective and recovery much faster. Now my child's behavior and speech is almost like any normal child.”
“When I started initially with Austin. My child speaks only a few words, and he was hyperactive and was not having the patience to wait for anything. In Austin I got all therapies like Occupational, Speech, and ABA. I got here very well interactive session with Asha and she let me sit with my child and observe him during the therapy sessions. This helps me a lot to follow all these techniques at home also. Here we are getting group sessions which is very helpful for the kids before they are starting school, they can learn how to interact with other kids and how to wait. Staff at Austin are 100% dedicated, they study our kid's positive and negatives sides and they do sessions accordingly. I would say Austin is a better place for kids who have developmental delays, speech issues, hyperactivity etc.”
“My child was diagnosed in March 2016. He was 4 years old at that time. He could not say mama and baba. He was able to say only A B C. His eye contact was not good, and he was having behavioral issues too. We just started therapy from this centre, now after one year giving therapy in this center, my child have improved a lot (March 2017) his speech, behavior and eye contact improved very much. Now he is showing his expressions, if he needs something he can speak, he plays with children. He follows instructions. He understands everything. Because of their hard work now, my child can do everything by himself. His social skills developed a lot. My child Ismail has improved a lot in one year, especially his speech and behaviors. I would recommend the Austin Centre to each parent. Thank you so much for Mrs. Asha and all other Centre staffs.”
“My little one has been at Austin for the past 3 months. As a mother of a child with complex autism, I can proudly say that she has changed significantly in a very short time. As a very anxious mother, I visited several large and expensive facilities in Dubai. Yes, they do offer ABA, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, but I did not find a properly experienced Behavior Analyst or Autism Consultant on board. The key difference I realized only after joining Austin was the importance of a Behavior Analyst in autism treatment. My advice to parents is this: if you have a child with autism, do not delay or try to reduce costs by choosing random ABA therapy services. It is important to work with a qualified Behavior Analyst who has proper university-level education and certification through recognized boards. I strongly recommend taking consultation from Mrs. Asha to understand your child's needs and to receive proper guidance on the right intervention plan. She has been very supportive and has helped us move in the right direction.”
