The BE Advantage
If a child can’t learn the way we teach, we should teach the way they learn.”
– Ignacio Estrada
With this philosophy in mind, Ms. Meera Ramani, one of the first Board Certified Behavior Analysts in Dubai, founded BE as a social enterprise in 2016.
At BE, we believe that every child has the potential to learn and lead a productive, independent life. This can be achieved with effective intervention from qualified therapists in a fun and friendly learning environment. Every child is unique and deserves to receive the best intervention that is based on the latest research.
We know that parents have several options when it comes to centers in the UAE.
Why choose us?
INDIVIDUALISED APPROACH
Individualised (1:1) instruction works best for our students, and we are here to deliver this.
IN-HOUSE PROGRAM SOFTWARE
– Our in-house software is used to chart progress of every single child, every day.
– Automatic graphs and trackers help us make program decisions quickly, without wasting precious time.
EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
We keep up with the latest research, train our staff and use methods which are proven to work.
A COST EFFECTIVE PROGRAM
– We give the best, at a reasonable rate lower than most other centres in Dubai
– Not by sacrificing quality or cutting corners. It’s simple – as a social enterprise, we just have lower margins.
