According to Shabbir Pirmohamed, Managing Director at Pulse TLC, "Our DHA accredited trainings take a broader view through providing customized healthcare professional development programs (CPDs and CMEs) for rehabilitation professionals in the UAE and the GCC region." 

"Dubai is at the forefront of inclusive education and our society is today more informed than ever of the individual needs of children of determination. These programs help us progress the vision of the UAE in becoming an inclusive society for all", he added. 

Speaking on the topic of PECS, Milind Sonawane, Senior Speech and Language Pathologist based at Ireland's St. Joseph's Foundation said, "Our initiative is to share the latest in interdisciplinary approach to managing speech disorders. Our topic today covered how using PECS for nonverbal children with ASD could prove to be immediately useful for requesting things, actions, and people."
