Our team and students attended the Academic Committee Meeting that was held in the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum. Mrs Olcay Connor (Step by Step Centre Manager) presented our curriculum aligment program lesson plans and Mini Museum Project to her Excellency Sheikha Al-Mayassa, Ms. Buthaina Bint Ali Al Jabr Al Nuaimi, Minister of Education and Higher Education, other prominent guests, and the principals of schools.
Step by Step Centre is a proud member of Qatar Museums Academic Committee under the leadership of its Chairperson Her Excellency Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. This platform was designed to raise awareness of various learning tools and opportunities and resources that Qatar’s arts and culture sector has to offer and to share expertise, foster collaboration and align the work of educational institutions and Qatar Museums.
Representing the neurodiverse community, we contribute to this initiative by aligning our Pathway to Independence (a Functional, Vocational and Independent Living Skills Program) curricula to be able to create hands-on vocational learning activities, culture and arts-related lesson plans that will be offered at Qatar Museums.
Qatar Museums will provide a great platform for students and education professionals to maximise learning outcomes with our support.
Our new custom sensory boards are finally ready! These boards are designed to enable our young students’ better engagement in sensory integration play in a dedicated space for sensory exploration.
On behalf of students and staff of Step by Step Centre, we would like to thank our dedicated volunteer Abdullah Hussein from American Boy Scouts, who completed our boards as part of Eagle Project and delivered them on the 28th September 2021.
This project truly exhibits the scouting spirit of helping others with one’s own abilities We truly hope that the spirit behind this project continue to enlighten all scouts to keep doing good work for the whole of humanity throughout their lives.
