A Voice for the Voiceless
Farida Almarzooqi is more than a certified social and career counsellor, autism awareness guide, and ABA coach — she is a beacon of hope for many families across the UAE. Based in Abu Dhabi, Farida blends her professional expertise with the intimate understanding of a mother raising a child with autism. Her work is not just a career; it’s a calling rooted in compassion, experience, and unwavering belief in human potential.
A Mother’s Triumph
Farida’s most cherished personal milestone is one close to the heart: helping her autistic son transition from a special needs school to a mainstream educational environment. Once non-verbal, her son is now speaking — a transformation that many would consider miraculous, but Farida calls it “the result of persistence, love, and holistic care.”
She credits the success to a structured combination of targeted academic support, specialized nutrition, and regular medical intervention. These weren’t just checkboxes on a therapy plan — they were lifelines, each contributing to her son’s breakthrough in communication and learning.

Inspired by her own journey, Farida has made it her mission to support others walking similar paths. Through workshops, counseling, and public awareness efforts, she helps families build personalized strategies that foster growth, inclusion, and resilience. Her work spans both social and career development, equipping individuals with the tools they need to thrive, not just survive.
Advocacy Rooted in Empathy
Farida’s approach is unique because it comes from both sides of the spectrum: the professional and the personal. She understands the emotional weight parents carry, the systemic challenges they face, and the small victories that feel like mountains moved. Her ability to connect deeply with families has made her a trusted figure in the autism community throughout the region.
Looking Ahead
As she continues her advocacy, Farida remains committed to a single truth: every child holds untapped potential, and with the right support, that potential can be unlocked. Whether through education, coaching, or awareness campaigns, she continues to lead with love, courage, and conviction — helping others believe that transformation is always possible.
