Safia Saeed
Inclusion Specialist,
Newlands School
I am a dedicated inclusion specialist with over 12 years of experience supporting students of determination in the UAE. Born and raised in the region, I have developed a deep understanding of the cultural and educational context, enabling me to foster meaningful inclusion within diverse learning environments.
I hold a Master’s degree in Education with a specialization in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), which I completed with distinction at Middlesex University Dubai. My professional expertise spans teaching, mentoring, and research in the field of special education, with a focus on designing and implementing strategies that empower students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
As a passionate advocate for inclusive education, I am committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, have access to equitable opportunities in mainstream schools. I work collaboratively with educators, families, and stakeholders to create supportive, inclusive environments that celebrate diversity and promote a sense of belonging.
My work is driven by the belief that inclusive education is not only a right but also a catalyst for transforming communities. Through continuous professional development and a research-driven approach, I strive to make meaningful contributions to the field of special education while positively impacting the lives of the students and families I serve.
