Autism Support
The Brain Workshop provides individualised cognitive skills support in Dubai for children, teenagers and adults on the autism spectrum. We begin with an assessment to understand individual strengths and areas that may benefit from support, then tailor the program around those findings.
Individual assessment • One-to-one support • Personalised programs
A personalised approach
People on the autism spectrum can have very different patterns of strengths and challenges. Some may find attention, working memory, processing speed or reasoning harder work, while showing significant strengths in other areas. Those patterns vary from person to person, which is why a general program is rarely the right starting point.
Our role is to understand the individual profile first, then talk honestly about whether cognitive skills support is appropriate and what it could focus on.
We assess first, then recommend.
How it works
A structured assessment helps identify individual cognitive strengths and areas that may benefit from support.
We explain the findings clearly and discuss what they may mean for learning, attention and everyday performance.
Where appropriate, we recommend a program based on the individual's assessment results and goals.
Structure and routine
Some individuals respond well to predictable routines, clear expectations and consistent structure. Our one-to-one sessions follow a familiar shape each time, so the focus stays on the skill being trained rather than on the unknowns of the session itself.
Because sessions are individual, the pace, the length of each task and the amount of repetition can all be adapted to the person in front of us. What works for one individual is not assumed to work for another.
Who is this for?
Suitability is always determined individually, following the assessment.
Support designed around developing cognitive and learning skills, at a pace that suits the child.
Support for learning demands, attention, memory and increasing independence in school and at home.
Individualised support for learning, work and everyday cognitive demands.
Talking it through
After the assessment we sit down at our Dubai centre and go through the findings in plain English. There is no obligation to start a program, and we will say clearly if we do not think cognitive skills training is the right fit.

FAQs
Our Cognitive Skills Assessment is not an autism diagnostic assessment, and cognitive skills training does not diagnose or treat autism.
We provide individualised cognitive skills support for children on the autism spectrum where it is appropriate for them. The assessment comes first, so any recommendation is based on that child's own profile rather than a general assumption.
No. Our Cognitive Skills Assessment is not an autism diagnostic assessment. Diagnosis is carried out by qualified medical and clinical professionals. Our assessment looks only at cognitive skills such as attention, memory, processing speed and reasoning.
Depending on the assessment results, training may target attention, working memory, processing speed, logic and reasoning, learning efficiency, and how information is followed and processed.
Yes. Programs for teenagers are shaped around school demands, study skills and growing independence, and are delivered one-to-one.
Yes. Adults work one-to-one on the skills that matter for study, work and everyday life. Suitability is always determined individually at the assessment stage.
The assessment is a structured set of tasks at our Dubai centre, usually completed in one visit. It measures a range of cognitive skills and produces a clear profile of relative strengths and areas that may benefit from support.
No. Cognitive skills training is not a therapy for autism and does not treat autism. It is skills-based training that sits alongside any other support, education or therapy an individual already receives.
The assessment results, the individual's goals and their preferred pace and routine all shape which skills are targeted, how sessions are structured and how progress is reviewed.
You do not need to decide in advance. We discuss the assessment findings with you first, then explain what we would recommend and why, so you can make an informed choice.
A Cognitive Skills Assessment gives you a clearer picture of individual strengths and areas that may benefit from targeted support.
