The education and training of individuals with special needs are not only rooted in humanitarian considerations but are also a legitimate right guaranteed by our Islamic faith, international agreements, and the laws and regulations of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Consequently, the Special Education Department is committed to preparing specialized teachers who understand the rights of individuals with special needs and can address their needs competently and effectively. These teachers will possess the skills necessary to perform their roles to the highest standards while considering modern global trends in training professionals in the field of special education.

Individuals with special needs have the potential to integrate into society, interact positively, and contribute to the economic and cultural development of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. However, achieving this requires addressing their needs and overcoming obstacles that may impede their progress while providing them with opportunities.
