TL;DR
Yes, many Dubai attractions offer discounts for disabled children and often for one accompanying adult; the discount is based on a medical certificate translated into English, not on a UAE residency ID.
When visiting parks and museums with a translated certificate, go to the ticket counter and ask if there is a 'ticket for people of determination' option. In most places the disabled child gets a free ticket, and at some venues one accompanying adult also gets a free or 50% discounted ticket.
Discounts for disabled children are indeed offered at several attractions, often including a discount for one accompanying adult. You need to have your disability certificate translated into English — this worked without issues.
Having or not having an Emirates ID (UAE residency card) doesn't affect eligibility for the discount — a foreign disability certificate alone won't get you a discount without an English translation.
Questions about discounts using a Belarusian disability certificate for a child at places like Green Planet, Burj Khalifa, and Museum of the Future have come up repeatedly — this is a common concern among parents.
