It is widely known that the first years of a child's life constitute the most important stage of his life, during which his personality is formed and his various developmental skills are mastered.
Accordingly, if parents and specialists invest this period of children's lives and intervene positively at an early stage, they will be able to develop children's abilities better and within a shorter period of time, they can reduce the growing problems of children who are at risk plus those with special needs and reduce the negative effects.
Based on this, Alwaleed Philanthropies worked in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and the Communications and Information Technology Commission to design an early intervention application for early detection of developmental problems and indicators of emotional and cognitive disorders in children with developmental problems or those at risk or the ones with special needs.
The partners have hired experts and specialists in the fields of:
