All Children Included/IncludeME is proud to present a virtual Summer Activity Club starting 12th July 2020

Due to the need for social distancing many of us are not travelling this year. Many activities are also unavailable because it is too hot to take part in them. This is why we have put together an inclusive online club which will give children of all ages and abilities an opportunity to take part in fun activities online for FREE!

ACI/IncludeME would like to thank our wonderful Activity Leaders who have kindly given up their time to enable this ambitious project to come to life! You are ALL SUPER HEROES!!! THANK YOU!!

Margaret Orchard

In 2013 when life for families of children of Determination here in Dubai was much more challenging than it is now, and when most schools knew little about Inclusion I came to know a group of professionals and parents who needed each other – and All Children Included was born.

I am a UK qualified Speech and Language Therapist, with lots of experience of working in several countries in the world and am passionate about pushing Inclusion forward wherever I am – to see every child have the best possible opportunities for learning!

I am the co-founder of IncludeME, a school based parent support group supporting families to advocate for their child. We also have a Facebook page and collaborate with ACI on many projects including the Online Activity Club and the Weekly Parents Meet that has been running since the Covid crisis began. (Please get in touch if you would like to join!)

I am a qualified Special Educator and consultant with over 20 years teaching experience in UAE and UK. My passion is to ensure ALL children get the opportunity to shine!

Sayyeda Fatima Zahra

I have always been passionate about working with children of determination and providing them with the best accommodation possible to access education in mainstream schools.  I became a member of AllChildrenIncluded in June 2018 where I met like minded professionals striving to promote inclusion across Dubai. 

I strongly believe that it is important to create awareness about inclusion among the youth of the society. I had formed a youth council as part of AllChildrenIncluded to promote awareness about inclusion of children of determination among the Youth. The Youth Council has conducted events for the children of determination in different schools of Dubai. The event was led by senior students of these schools.

Najda Rizwan Khan

Proudly hailing from Pakistan, after completing my MPhil in Psychology, I touched down Dubai 7 years ago and joined a Dubai based school as a School Counsellor. For the past 6 years I have been working very closely with children of all ages, helping them with challenges like anxiety, behavioural management, communication, depression etc. My approach as a Counsellor has always been preventive, hence has worked with students parents and professionals to raise awareness regarding different issues that are faced by individuals in our society.

Being part of ACI has been a profound experience for me. Through ACI I've had the privilege for work and help parents of children of determination. Supporting parents through workshops, weekly support group and webinars has made me believe that positive change is possible and is evident.
