The Al Noor Training Centre was established in 1981 with just 8 children. Since then we have expanded, year on year, to enrich the lives of hundreds of children and young adults with various physical and cognitive challenges.

We have a holistic approach to the wellbeing and development of all our students, who benefit from individual, specially designed programmes to suit their specific needs. We employ Trans-Disciplinary Assessment and Intervention methods to ensure each child gets the precise help they need.


Our broad curriculum covers all areas of training and development and we offer a wide range of therapies, vocational training, work placement schemes, co-curricular activities and satellite programmes – all designed to support students and their families every step of the way.


Today we have over 250 students of more than 31 nationalities, who enjoy the excellent facilities of our purpose-built centre. Our children are taught in bright and airy classrooms, many fitted with the latest specialist equipment. We lead the way in employing assistive technology to help them achieve their maximum potential. We are proud to boast a well- equipped gym, a large multi-purpose auditorium, a swimming pool and a shaded, outdoor playground.

The centre was generously donated by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein facilitated the project and honoured us when she opened the centre in 2007.

The genesis of Manzil was a non-profit support group called ‘Special Families Support’ which was started by our Director Dr Ayesha Husaini on 9th December, 1999. The group grew to over 200 members and is one of GCC’s oldest non-profit groups focusing on social inclusion of people of determination. The support group blossomed into “Manzil”, a non-profit Center that was officially inaugurated on February 7th 2005 by Sheikha Jameela Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director General, Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services.



Meaning “Destination” in Urdu or “Home” in Arabic, Manzil catered to students with cognitive disabilities making it a highly qualitative center with a significantly low student to staff ratio. The average experience of our teaching staff in the disability arena was over 13 years.


The organization is now spreading its wings further and is crossing international borders, doing inclusion research & consultancy and is also involved as an intellectual partner with Governmental entities. Manzil’s Ambassador of Inclusion is Chaica S. Al Qassimi. She is also a Self-advocate & representative of Inclusion MENA. In 2022 Manzil expanded both its vision and its premises. The ideology of the Center is no longer limited to people of determination. The Manzil Centers now operating from both Sharjah and Dubai are aimed at ALL learners.


Manzil provides the PRIDE program for students with mild to moderate intellectual challenges. The emphasis of the program is to develop students knowledge and skills to become a part of society.

UAE’s first support group for families having individuals with Disability - Special Families Support - was the genesis of Manzil.

We are grateful to our partners in promoting inclusion and research in the field of disability.

We are providing consultancy services to a variety of organisations which includes Schools, Corporates, Government.


Every student at Manzil follows an individualized education program (IEP). The Education program follows a holistic approach comprising development of academic, self-help, social, and motor skills.

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure inspite of

"However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at​" ​

Manzil’s commitment to improving the lives of persons with developmental disabilities was also evident in talking with the young adults in the transition-to-work class. The students were well mannered, had good functional communication skills and displayed a genuine interest in their peers and others though each student had been adequately prepared to make a contribution to society. And, since that is the ultimate outcome, I don’t think there is any greater testament to the work being done at the school.

The Family friendly atmosphere, coupled with well-developed and comprehensive curriculum provides the pupils of Manzil an outstanding environment in which to thrive.

I have personally interacted with the parents of some of the students and was touched by the joy I saw in the eyes of the parents at seeing their children step up with pride to find their place in mainstream society. Financial transparency has always been a focus in this organization, and I am happy to state that Manzil has always had a very good history in this regard.

I would like to extend my appreciation for your cooperation with our team in the sharing of information and suggestions for the development of the Centre for Excellence in Disabilities. Your openness and willingness to work together proved to be of great value to the team, and provided us with a clear insight into the current situation with regards to special needs in the UAE.

Our collaboration began in 2007 and continues to be very valuable to us. During our interaction over the past three years, my team and I were impressed by your professionalism and commitment and that of your team at Manzil. Despite the limited resources, it was particularly encouraging to see that you and the other staff members were knowledgeable , had an active in –house training program and were very receptive to the research ideas presented by our team. We greatly appreciate your initiative and resourcefulness in helping us to overcome hurdles that our team faced.
