💙 Team DDY at the Emirates NBD Unity Run 2025! 💙

Last Sunday wasn’t just a run - it was a celebration of inclusion, community, and coming together for a meaningful cause. 🏃🏽‍♀️✨

The Emirates NBD Unity Run brings people of all abilities together to champion accessibility and raise awareness for individuals of determination - a mission that’s deeply close to our hearts at DDY. 🌟♾️

Our team had the best time showing up for inclusion, cheering alongside families, and supporting a community that believes every child deserves to thrive. 🙌🏽
Seeing so many parents, children, and advocates join the movement reminded us why we do what we do every single day.

Here’s to more moments that bring us together, more smiles shared, and more steps taken toward a more inclusive UAE. 🫶🏽💫

Team DDY is proud to be part of it! 💪🏽😍

It starts small.
A “hi.”
A “go.”
A “yum yum.”

Tiny words that open BIG doors to asking for what they want, sharing what they love,
and connecting with the world around them. 💙

In speech therapy, this is where the magic happens - through themed play, laughter, and moments that make words click.

Because behind every “open” and “eat”
is a child learning, “I can communicate.” 🌟

When your child follows a simple instruction like “get the book” or “stack the blocks,” it might seem small - but it’s actually a big deal. 💙

In ABA, we call this Listener Responding — it’s how children learn that words have meaning, and that listening leads to action.

These little moments teach so much more than directions. 🧒🏻👧🏽💡

They build understanding, attention, and confidence - helping your child engage with the world in their own meaningful way. 🌱

Because progress doesn’t always look loud or flashy… sometimes it’s a quiet “got it!” that means everything. 💫

🌟 From milestones to mainstream - Ali’s inspiring journey reminds us what’s possible when dedication, teamwork, and belief come together.

We’re so proud to share that our very own Ali was featured in DHCC’s Pulse Newsletter (Q3 Edition) for his incredible progress and success! 📰💙

Through DDY’s multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach - combining ABA, SLT, OT, and PT a and with the unwavering support of his amazing parents, Ali has grown in confidence, improved his communication and social skills, and even transitioned into a mainstream classroom. 🎓✨

Every achievement like Ali’s is a celebration of inclusion, perseverance, and hope - values we live by every day at DDY.

A heartfelt thank you to for shining a light on Ali’s story and the power of holistic care in transforming young lives. 🥰💫

What an amazing 3 days of learning and connection! 🤝🏽💬

Our Occupational Therapy Parent Workshop on Sensory Processing Difficulties (SPD) wrapped up last week - and it was truly an eye-opener for so many parents. 💙

Over three days, they learned how sensory processing can affect their child’s behavior, focus, and daily routines - and discovered how OT can really help make everyday life smoother and more enjoyable. ✋🏽🎨

It was also a wonderful opportunity for parents to ask questions, share experiences, and leave with practical strategies they can start using right away. 💡

We’re so proud of every parent who joined us on this journey of understanding and support. Stay tuned - more empowering workshops are coming soon! 🧠🤩💫
