Special Focus on the Deaf and the Hard-of-Hearing

According to the data provided by the Saudi Association for Hearing Impaired (Saudi-HI) to the World Federation of the Deaf in their 2007 Global Survey Report, there were approximately 100,000 deaf people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Their education is mostly focused on vocational training; thus, inhibiting them from seeking higher education and from attaining high positions and distinctive ranks in the corporate and professional world. In the estimate of Saudi-HI, there are about 20 deaf schools in the entire country, as of 2007, and a few special education programs in mainstream schools. Though these educational institutions provide specialized programs and instructions to many deaf people in Saudi Arabia, many of these individuals hope to acquire better services and enhanced levels of instruction. They want to increase the number of professional and fluent interpreters in the country, as well as improve the level of education and the number of career opportunities available to them. Moved by this sad reality, Dr. Alshibani, Engr. Jarrar instituted Jassarah, not only as a career development and training center for students, employees, and professionals but also as a top-quality school for people with special needs. We aim to offer exceptional support services to the deaf, the hard-of-hearing individuals, and those with physical disability, as well as job readiness education and trainings to students, employees, entrepreneurs, and executives who seek excellence and success in their respective careers and professions.
