AMMAN — Royal Court Chief Yousef Issawi on Wednesday visited the Nazik Hariri Centre for Special Education to review its programmes and services dedicated to supporting people with disabilities.
Established in 1985, the centre is a non-governmental organisation that provides education, care, and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
It currently accommodates 150 students, with a total capacity of 212, and has become, over the past four decades, a national reference in special education and vocational rehabilitation.
The centre provides integrated services, including assessment, education, medical care, vocational rehabilitation, physical and speech therapy, and recreational programmes.
It also supports students’ post-graduation integration through follow-up on higher education and employment opportunities.
During a tour of the centre’s departments, including assessment, diagnosis, supportive medical services, and vocational and educational programs, Issawi was briefed on the services provided to students.
He also visited vocational workshops in rug weaving, mosaics, clay and embroidery, accessory making, carpentry, and computer skills, as well as the "Nebras" showroom displaying students’ products.
Issawi praised the centre’s educational and humanitarian efforts, highlighting their reflection of the Royal vision of a compassionate and inclusive society.
He expressed appreciation for the staff’s dedication and commitment to empowering people with disabilities through education, training, and social integration.
He noted that His Majesty King Abdullah’s continued support and Her Majesty Queen Rania’s follow-up on education and empowerment programmes reflect a Royal approach that places people at the heart of national development and boosts social justice.
