About AIS Dubai
Transforming Lives Through Evidence-Based Autism Intervention
Autism Intervention Specialists (AIS Dubai) is a leading multidisciplinary center dedicated to supporting Learners with autism and their families through compassionate, science-backed care.
Our Mission
Change That Matters Beyond the Therapy Room
At AIS Dubai, our mission is to help Learners build meaningful skills that make a difference in everyday life. We provide evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), psychological assessments, and family support tailored to each Learner and the environments in which they live, learn, and grow.
Founded by Bahij Khouzami, a U.S.-trained Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), AIS Dubai brings rigorous clinical standards and individualized care to families across the UAE. Our work is guided by evidence, measured by meaningful progress, and grounded in close collaboration with the families we serve.
Science-backed. Family-centered. Life-changing.

How We Work
A Holistic, Individualized Approach
No two Learners are alike. That's why every AIS Dubai program begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand each Learner's strengths, challenges, and goals. From there, our multidisciplinary team designs a personalized intervention plan that evolves as the Learner grows.
Our services span ABA therapy, psychological assessments, Functional Behavior Assessments, parent and caregiver coaching, and school support — all delivered under one roof by a cohesive team that communicates and collaborates at every step.
