In the heart of Abu Dhabi, a Filipina mechatronic engineer is redefining what it means to lead—not just in planetary science, but in service to children with determination, innovative education, and a combination of education in SEND, specialized training, and practical experience.
As the Chancellor of Sunup Talented Children Development Center, Engr. Schonberg leads a professional team that specializes in supporting children with special needs. The center offers individualized educational programs based on a Singaporean KINESTHETIC framework, emphasizing motor skills, sensory processing, auditory and cognitive development.
Together with her skilled faculty, she upholds the center’s mission to address developmental challenges with a combination of educational science and technological innovation.
Most notably, Engr. Schonberg has pioneered the use of AI robotics in behavioral therapy—designing interactive robots that help children with autism build social auditory and emotional skills.
