Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live with an LD in Saudi Arabia? It’s absolutely fascinating.
This article is a news piece (I think?) on Arab News website. What are your thoughts?
“In Saudi Arabia, we don’t have any valid standardized tool in Arabic that we can use to identify individuals with learning disabilities. However, based on the international prevalence rate, we expect to have a minimum of 215,000 students in our school systems struggling with LD,” says Dr. Saja Jamjoom, Program Manager for the Learning Disabilities Program at the Prince Salman Center for Disability Research based in Riyadh.”
“In 2009, the center established the first Academic Assistance Unit in collaboration with Landmark College in the US at Prince Sultan University in Riyadh. “This Unit is the first unit in the region that provides support services for students with LD at the higher education level,” says Jamjoom.”
