A study about two groups of adult autistic individuals shows a clear decrease in a set of autistic behaviors when one of the groups used the multi - sensory integration room.
The new Hyperabaric Chamber Vitaeris 320 will enhance oxygen perfusion to deprived tissues within the body, while reducing the symptoms of autism. The multi - sensory integration room will expose the children to music, lights, vibrations and countless activities that indulge the senses and work to calm an overly excited child.
Duncan Hedditch, Emal CEO, said:
"As a part of the community of Abu Dhabi, Emal is pleased to be able to help support important community initiates. We know that funding for autistim centers is imperative for the early diagnosis and treatment of children."
"This support represents a big opportunity to provide better training and rehabilitation for autistic children. We are trying to help these children develop their various skills and merge into the society with ease by using the latest techniques in care and rehabilitation which will help them overcome the hardships they face in their lives," said Amal Jalal Sabry, Director of Emirates Autism Center.
Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affect's an individual's ability to communicate and interact with others. Though there is no single known cause or cure, studies show that early diagnosis and intervention can lead to significantly improved outcomes.
The Journal of Tropical Pediatrics found that 58 of every 10,000 children in the UAE had autistic features. Rising autism rates in the UAE mean there is a need for better treatment and facilities.
"The Emirates Autism Center can now provide even more effective treatment for autistic children, turning a difficult situation into a hopeful one. With the right services and support, we can help these children lead fuller and healthier lives," added Sabry.
