The Academic and Vocational Rehabilitation Center was inaugurated in April 1980 to come up with numerous rehabilitation, educational and vocational services to children and youth with intellectual disabilities through two specialized units, namely the Academic Rehabilitation Unit and the Vocational Rehabilitation Unit.
Note: Due to the construction work and repairs currently taking place in the building of the Academic and Professional rehabilitation Centre, the Ministry notes the transfer of the services of the Academic and Vocational Rehabilitation Centre to the Shaikhan Al-Farsi Centre for Universal Communication until further notice.
The Centre also aims to integrate students into all events and occasions to achieve partnership and equality. It also celebrates annually the graduation of men and women affiliated with the centre who have completed their vocational rehabilitation training programmes and it assists them to integrate the business world.
