Amman, Oct. 22 (Petra) – Chief of the Royal Hashemite Court (RHC) Yousef Issawi visited the Nazik Hariri Center for Special Education on Wednesday to review its programs and services dedicated to supporting people with disabilities.

Established in 1985, the center is a non-governmental organization that provides education, care, and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities. 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 center provides integrated services, including assessment, education, medical care, vocational rehabilitation, physical and speech therapy, and recreational programs. It also supports students’ post-graduation integration through follow-up on higher education and employment opportunities.

During a tour of the center’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. The visit included a musical performance by the center’s choir.

Issawi praised the center’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 II’s continued support and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah’s follow-up on education and empowerment programs reflect a royal approach that places people at the heart of national development and strengthens social justice.
