A little about CDA or Community Development Authority
The Community Development Authority was founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai in the Year 2008. The Community Development Authority is responsible not only for developing the framework for social development but also for successfully achieving the goals outlined in the Dubai Strategic Plans. CDA-approved Learning Difficulties Services in Dubai provides approvals for certain business activities among many other activities such as Learning Difficulties Services, Special Education Services, etc, are few of the other activities.
The activity of Learning Difficulties Services: Includes providing training and teaching for children with learning difficulties through programs of attention, auditory, visual discrimination motor skills, learning skills of reading, writing and mathematics, including early identification, diagnosing and perceptual tests.
The process for setting up a Learning Difficulties Service is as mentioned below:
Two authorities will be prominently involved during the process, Firstly the Dubai main (DET- Dubai Economy and Tourism Department) and CDA ( Community Development Authority)
Steps of the process:
- Firstly, Once we have reserved the trade name and initial approval with DET, we then need to proceed to the first stage of CDA approval which is
Stage 1: Initial Approval Procedure for Social Care Facility Below are the details/ documents required to be provided by the client:
- Initial Approval Certificate for the added activities issued by DET
- Copy of Passport, Emirates ID– for Shareholders/Managers/Service Agent
- At this stage, an online application form will be provided to the client which needs to be filled and signed and will then be sent to CDA, the licensing department for the initial approval
- Once the application along with the provided details are verified CDA will then request for the payment to be made after which the client shall receive the initial approval
- Secondly, we will proceed with the
Stage 2: Issuance of Final Permit Procedure for Social Care Facility
- As soon as Stage 1 is completed, we will then proceed with the license issuance with DET, Once the business license is issued, CDA, Officials visit your premises for inspection and provide for approval. The business will be operational only once the Final Permit is issued from CDA
- In order to obtain the final permit from CDA., some of the important requirements are listed below
a) License Certificate issued by the Licensing Authority (DET)
b) Appointing licensed professionals is vital during this step and the following needs to be well-considered:

- A Professional Licensing Examination will be conducted, and the applicants will need to appear. This examination is held every three (3) months at the British University of Dubai. A Community Development Authority licensing representative will contact the concerned to inform them of the exam date and the preparation material
- Once the results are received from the Ministry of Education and Dataflow, the rest of the below-mentioned documents (some of them are a White background passport-size photo, copy of academic transcript, copy of academic degrees including the copy of attested translation, Good Conduct certificate issued by Dubai Police if the applicant is a resident of Dubai or a Good Conduct Certificate from the respective Emirate) need to be complied as for the submission of the complete application for the Social Care professional license to be issued for the concerned.
c) With the licensed professional appointed, the premises need to meet all operational requirements as per the checklist of CDA, and some of the many requirements are listed below:

- The Mission Vision and Values of the organization must be clearly determined
- The facility must appoint a proper manager prior to its operations
- There must a proper storage area for Administrative records, documents, and office supplies shall be provided, etc.
