Official site of the Bahrain Society for Children with Behavioral & Communication Difficulties

The mission of the Bahrain Society for Children with Behavioral and Communication Difficulties is to promote lifelong access and opportunity for all individuals with the behavioral and communication difficulties, and their families, to be fully participating, included members of their community. Education, active public awareness and the promotion of research form the cornerstones of the society’s efforts to carry forth its mission.
Membership encompasses a broad, diverse group of parents, family members, special education teachers, administrators, medical doctors, therapists, nurses and aides, as well as countless other personnel involved in the education, care, treatment and support of individuals with such difficulties. Recognizing and respecting the diverse range of opinions, needs and desires of this group, the society embraces an overall philosophy which chooses to empower individuals with behavioral and communication difficulties, their parents or caregivers, to make choices best suited to the needs of the person with the difficulty.

At the very core of the choice philosophy is the belief that no single program or treatment will benefit all individuals with behavioral and communication difficulties. Furthermore, the recommendation of what is "best" or "most effective" for a person with such difficulties should be determined by those people directly involved - the individual with the difficulty, to the extent possible, and the parents or family members. Providing information and education to help in decision-making are more highly regarded at society than is advocating for one particular theory or philosophy.
