Questions parents ask before booking
From what age can my child be assessed?
A child can be assessed from four months of age up to 18 years, because the AI assessment system does not rely on verbal communication from the child.
How long does the AI assessment take?
The AiDi session takes only 6.5 minutes and is designed to be engaging and enjoyable for the child, with no stress involved.
How accurate is the assessment?
The patented assessment system has an accuracy rate of 99.8%, and it differentiates between autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and developmental delay.
Does my child need to speak to be assessed?
No. The assessment requires no verbal communication from the child, which is what makes it suitable for very young or non-verbal children.
What happens at the first visit?
The first visit lasts about an hour. A specialist takes a full developmental history, your child has the 6.5-minute AiDi session, and the team explains the result and the recommended plan. You leave with a clear picture and the first steps to start at home.
What conditions does the assessment identify?
The AiDi assessment distinguishes between autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, intellectual disability and developmental delay, and shows the areas — attention, language processing, regulation — where a child needs most support. That profile is what the intervention plan is built on.
How much does an assessment cost?
The assessment fee is fixed and includes the AiDi session, the developmental history and the results consultation. Session packages depend on the plan. Contact the Ajman or Amman center by phone or WhatsApp for the current price list.
Do I need a referral or previous reports?
No referral is needed; parents book directly. Previous reports are helpful if you have them, but the assessment does not depend on them.
How many sessions a week will my child need?
It depends on the child's profile, age and goals. Most young children start with several one-to-one sessions a week across speech, behavioural, occupational skills and neurofeedback work, combined with a home program. The number is set from the assessment and reviewed monthly.
Can parents attend the sessions?
Yes, and we encourage it. Parents are in the room for at least part of every session and leave with techniques to use at home, because what happens between sessions is at least half of the intervention.
How do you measure progress?
Every goal in the plan has a measure, and progress is tracked against your child's own baseline. Results are reviewed with parents at least monthly, and the plan is adjusted when the data shows that something is not working.
Which languages do your specialists work in?
Sessions are delivered in Arabic and English, and the team supports families in the other languages of this website through online consultations. A child is supported in the language spoken at home wherever possible.
Do you provide reports for schools and nurseries?
Yes. After the assessment and at each review we provide a written report that families can share with schools, nurseries and other professionals, along with recommendations for the classroom.
What are your working hours?
Both centers are open every day except Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and our team helps you find a session time that fits the family's schedule.
Can I get a second opinion if my child was assessed elsewhere?
Yes. Many families come to EICADD for an objective assessment after an inconclusive or contradictory opinion. The AiDi session does not depend on the assessor's impression or on the child's cooperation on the day.
Is the AiDi device certified?
AiDi is a patented assessment system developed by Dr. Noraldin Al-Deri and used since 2019 in the assessment of more than 10,000 children. Its 99.8% accuracy has been validated against standard assessment, and it is operated only by trained specialists at EICADD centers.
Do you support children with ADHD without autism?
Yes. ADHD is one of the four profiles the assessment identifies, and the plan for a child with ADHD combines behavioural strategies, neurofeedback, parent coaching and, where needed, speech or occupational skills sessions. No chemical intervention is involved.
Are the protocols safe?
Our protocols are non-chemical and based on homeopathy, natural herbs and dietary plans, and each is determined for the individual child based on their assessment results and a clear scientific analysis.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes. We provide online consultations and follow-ups with Dr. Noraldin Al-Deri and his team, directly from your home.
Where are your branches?
We have two branches: Ajman in the UAE and Khalda in Amman, Jordan.
