Nurturing Young Minds for Brighter Futures
For more than 10 years, Reach Out (now known as Reach Abilities) has been a trusted home for children and families in the UAE seeking high-quality, compassionate therapy. The center was originally established under the vision and dedication of Suzanne Nicholas, whose pioneering work laid the foundation for inclusive, family-centered services that touched the lives of countless children.
Suzanne’s commitment, compassion, and vision created a legacy that continues to inspire everything we do. Today, she is recognized as Founder (Emeritus), and her values remain at the heart of Reach Abilities.
Now guided by Mr. Andrew Bailey (CEO) and Ms. Fizza Shaikh (Managing Director, BCBA), Reach Abilities enters an exciting new chapter. Building on Suzanne’s foundation, the center is expanding services, integrating innovative therapies, and strengthening community partnerships, all while staying true to the mission of helping every child thrive.
At Reach Abilities, we don’t just provide therapy. We continue a legacy of hope, progress, and possibility.
