About us
Our Story
Founded in Singapore in 2010 and expanding to Dubai in 2014 under the leadership of Sara Powell, ATIC has grown into a pioneering center for early intervention and specialized therapy. We are the first and only center in the UAE dedicated to incorporating Art Therapy as a core component of early intervention, and we continue to lead the region in innovative therapeutic approaches. Our team of specialists, including experts from the UK, is highly trained in the early diagnosis and treatment of Autism, providing tailored support for children, young people, and their families.
