Al Jalila Foundation — Ta'alouf Program

Al Jalila Foundation training and events that equip parents, educators, and caregivers to support People of Determination across the UAE.

Ta'alouf (Arabic for "harmony") is a community-engagement programme run by the Al Jalila Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dubai Health, founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The programme is built specifically around children of determination — including children with autism — and is delivered free of charge.

Who Ta'alouf is for

Parents and caregivers of children of determination who want practical strategies and confidence to support their child at home.
Teachers and school staff working with students of determination in UAE schools.

What it provides

Structured training sessions on understanding disabilities, behaviour, communication, and inclusion.
Practical strategies parents can use day to day.
Capacity-building for teachers to deliver more inclusive classroom experiences.
Connection to Al Jalila Foundation's wider support ecosystem.

The current programme also includes parent webinars and events, a fully funded one-year teachers training programme, and Talent Scout workshops and events. Check the current programme page for registration and upcoming availability.

Other Al Jalila Foundation programmes worth knowing

A'awen — financial medical assistance for UAE-based patients unable to afford treatment.
The Child Fund — a charitable programme supporting essential medical care for children in need.

Note: A'awen and The Child Fund are general medical-assistance programmes, not autism-specific therapy funding. Ta'alouf supports parents, educators and People of Determination through training and activities; it is not an autism-therapy funding grant.
