bethlehem.edu :

Bethlehem University's Office of the Dean of Student Affairs has organized an open day titled, “Invisible Disabilities in Education: From Awareness to Inclusion and Accommodation,” in collaboration with the Palestinian Medical Relief Society and in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the University's Departments of Occupational Therapy and Social Sciences, and local community organizations working to support and empower persons with disabilities.

 

Through discussions, interactive activities, and creative spaces, the event highlighted the challenges faced by students with disabilities and the importance of developing more inclusive educational environments, policies, and accommodations that protect their right to learn and participate on equal terms.

 

At Bethlehem University, access to education means more than opening the doors of a university. It means creating an environment where every student is seen, valued, and supported to reach their full potential. A more inclusive society begins with an education that leaves room for everyone.
