MOEHE inaugurated an interactive and supportive learning space at Al Hidaya School for Special Needs Primary School Boys and Girls. The project retrofitted the school with specialized rooms and assistive technologies to support students receiving special education services.

What Changed?

The school added dedicated interactive learning environments, including an immersive reality room, integrated sensory room, ultraviolet illumination room, and assistive technology chamber. The Department of Special Education and Inclusive Education retrofitted the space and operationalized the related educational programs.

Old System vs New System

Before

Before this implementation step, the school did not have the newly described set of retrofitted interactive chambers and associated assistive-technology learning programs as part of its special education environment.

After

Students at Al Hidaya School now have access to specialized interactive rooms designed to support sensory regulation, visual and spatial awareness, communication, movement, engagement, and readiness for learning.

Student Impact

Students with disabilities gain access to more individualized, sensory-aware, and technology-supported learning environments that can support attention, communication, movement, and engagement.

Parent / Family Impact

Parents of students at the school may see expanded support services and should consult the school about how the new spaces fit into individual learning plans.

School / Institution Impact

The school must operate and maintain the new rooms, align their use with student needs, and integrate assistive technologies into learning activities.

Teacher / Staff Impact

Special education teachers and support staff may need to adapt lesson planning, therapeutic support, and classroom routines to make effective use of the new sensory and assistive technology spaces.

Key Dates
