Zayed Higher Organisation For People of Determination and Al Jalila Foundation have celebrated the graduation of 'Ta'alouf' programme fourth batch of 100 parents of People of Determination; an initiative aimed at training the parents of people suffering from mental disabilities and autism spectrum disorder.

In implementation of the MoU signed with Al Jalila Foundation, with the aim of enhancing cooperation and partnership to ensure the expansion of the programme scope, the graduation was held following the successful completion of the fourth qualifying programme and development of required, basic skills to manage the difficult behaviors of their children.

On this occasion, Abdullah Abdul 'Alali Al-Humaidan, Secretary-General of Zayed Organisation, affirmed that Ta’alouf constitutes one of the distinctive programmes which play a vital role in the promotion of social integration, and comes in implementation of the directives of the wise leadership and constant follow-up of Sheikh Khalid bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Organisation.

The programme aimed at seeking to establish strategic partnerships with all public and private institutions, departments and entities, and to reinforce existing relationships therewith to enhance the provision of necessary care and rehabilitation services to people with disabilities.

Al-Humaidan stressed the fact that the positive results achieved during the first three cycles of the programme, in which a number of parents residing in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra took part, constituted a great incentive that encouraged Zayed Organisation to expand the programme’s scope to cover the largest number of parents possible, especially in Dubai and Northern Emirates, alike.

He also thanked Al Jalila Foundation officials for their esteemed cooperation, as well as the parents for their keenness to join the programme, and organisation's accredited, training personnel who developed the educational material in collaboration with Al Jalila Foundation.

The programme extends over a five-working day period, during which each consists of six interactive, practical training hours, aimed at providing participants with necessary skills to better deal and interact with their children.
