Subject: Arabic-supported assistive materials

Greetings / privyet....

Today is Monday, June 21, 1999.

Two possible sources for such Arabic-supported assistive materials are:

o  The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I think the web
site URL is < http://www.moe.gov.sa >. The MOE oversees the government-run
national programs for special education.

o  I have heard that there are special efforts underway on product
development at some institution(s?) for disabled students in Jeddah. (Might
be private schools or institutes, rather than MOE-run entities.)

I can do some web searches of some sites there and let you know on results.

o  The Ministry of Education in the United Arab Emirates, which operates an
extensive program for students needing special education. I think the UAE
University's College of Education few years back was working with some US or
UK firms on software for disabled Emiratis (school-age) and associated
Braille devices.

You also might visit and query the sections at this URL: <
http://www.ummah.net > (Might be just < http://ummah.net >)

Hope these leads help.

Good luck...Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards from Los Angeles,

Stephen H. Franke
