Being aware of the importance of paying attention to students who have various kinds of learning disabilities,we have had the privilege of being one of five school that participated in the "Learning Disabilties Workshops" organized by ARC (Arab Resource Collective) and delivered by Dr. Ahmad Oueini, Dr. Katia Hazouri from November till March.
The program was divided into two parts: General Sessions about different aspects and topics related to learning disabilities.They were five sessions delivered by Dr. Oueini, Dr. Katia Hazouri, and many guest speakers who are specialists in this field.
The second part offered a first hand opportunity of putting all that was discussed theoratically in practice. Mrs. Zeina Shehab and Miss Hoda Shaaban visited the centres of both Dr. Oueini and Dr. Katia and worked with children who have learning disabilities. These intensive sessions were given by Mrs. Rola Baadarani for the English part and Dr. Katia for the Arabic part. The aim was establish an approach to teaching these kids at our schools and empowering teachers with the tools for that.
On Monday, June 29th and in the presence of president Amine Al Daouk, Khalil Shehab Primary School hosted the last event of this project. After the completion of the above sessions, the certificates of completion and participation were given to the participants of various schools. An overview of the objectives of the projects and the follow-up steps were given. The good news is that this project is only the first step and future plans will follow.
Great Thank You goes to Arab Resource Collective representatives Mrs. May Abou Ajram and Mrs. Maysoun Shehab for this valuable opportunity ,and also to Dr. Ahmad Oueini, Dr. Katia Hazouri, Mrs. Rola Baadarani and everyone who made the project a very fruitful one indeed.
