Admission Process
Assessment & Admission
MyMaximus welcomes students with developmental and intellectual disabilities, regardless of the severity of their disability, nationality and socio-economic background.
Suitability
Students aged 15 & over will be considered for vocational and training placement.
The admission of students requires certain criteria to be met. A comprehensive medical evaluation will be considered by our recommended MyMaximus physicians.
Assessments and Reports

- A completed application form
- Copy of child’s passport (both information pages and residence visa stamp)

2. Any child seeking admission to the center must be evaluated by the Director who is a child and family Psychologist and with the multi-disciplinary team (comprising of Occupational therapist, Speech & Language therapist, Physiotherapist and Senior Teacher).
Depending on the child’s performance with the Director and multi-disciplinary team, a decision for admission will be made. During his evaluation, the child must be accompanied by both parents.
The purpose of this evaluation is to:
- Assess the child’s cognitive skills, speech and language skills, perception skills, social skills and motor abilities.
- Ascertain whether or not the programs available at the Center correlate with the child’s needs.
- Determine appropriate placement within the Center.
- Assess equipment needs and make appropriate recommendations.
3. Once the decision has been made to admit the child, then the admission is further subject to compliance with equipment requirements and recommended screening x-rays, if applicable.
4. Upon the child’s admission to the Center, parents will be invoiced for tuition and transportation fees (if transportation is required).
Tuition and transportation fees can either be paid in full, by cash, card or cheque in advance, or on a termly basis via postdated cheques.
Documents
To be considered for MyMaximus, all students should present a copy of the valid residence visas, passports and UAE ID cards of the student and both parents. In addition, a copy of the student’s birth certificate, vaccination card and disability card must be provided.
Classroom placement
We know that students learn best when they are provided with the right assessment and right training compatible to their skill set.
Within the classroom setting, students benefit from a tailor-made vocational program based on sound research that addresses the developmental and educational needs of young learners. Activities are well crafted in each discipline to meet the selected talent sets of those that have joined that particular discipline. A blend of further development of life skills and the maintenance of acquired literacy and self-care skills is part of the fundamental training program at Mymaximus.
Transportation
We have a fleet of buses, all equipped with GPS and RFID card tracking systems. Transport is available to students living in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, subject to seat availability on specific routes. Regrettably, we cannot guarantee transport to students with uncontrolled epilepsy or seizure disorders and/ or to those with any critical medical condition, requiring attention on the bus.
Residential Services
As we totally believe in independent living and transition of people with determination to adults’ life , We have signed a partnership with top residential facilities providers for special needs in UAE.
MyMaximus is happy to refer you to those service providers and you can discuss your residential needs directly with them. Mymaximus is not responsible for any residential arrangement the parents have undertaken with the third party.
Financial Aid and Sponsorship
MyMaximus provides financial aid for students who have demonstrated financial need. The assistance may take the form of full scholarships, partial scholarships and/or tuition fee reductions.
Please note that all of our students are required to contribute towards the cost of their education. Therefore, a full tuition fee reduction does not exempt the student from paying the assessment fees and the Transportation.
Please note that in order to make the completion of the sponsorship application process easier, students should have the following documents at hand as they will need to be attached:
Proof of income and family wealth (salary certificates, salary slips and sources of the income to support the scholarship decisions Brief budget explaining your monthly expenses and provisions At least 2 expenses vouchers (rent, health insurance , telephone bills, any other relevant monthly bill etc..)
