The new facilities are anticipated to be opened with the start of the academic year in September.
He hailed the continuous and full support and assistance provided by the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for people with special needs to help them lead an easy and normal life.
Hamili said the Organisation has ensured the availability of books, teaching staff and technical devices required by special needs students, in prepartion for the coming academic year scheduled to commence next month.
Elaborating on the new units, Mariam Saif Al Qubaisi, Head of Special Needs Sections at the Organisation, said the facilities include an early intervention unit at Al Ain Centre for the phyically challenged and two comprehensive assessment and physio-therapy units at the Abu Dhabi Rehabilitation Centre.
