Samer Spectrum of Love Initiative - Autism

This is a description of an event related to the "Samer Spectrum of Love Initiative - Autism." The workshop was conducted by Mr. Ramzi Mahfouz, the Technical Director at the Jordanian Academy for Autism, to train the personnel of the General Security Directorate (Public Security Directorate) on how to interact with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The event was attended by Colonel Butay Shishani, Deputy Director of the Public Security Directorate; His Excellency Dr. Ahmed Abu Khadijah, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors; and Mr. Mofeq Al-Zamil, President of the Jordanian Autism Spectrum Disorder Association, along with several administrators from Ibn Al-Haytham Hospital. Such initiatives aim to train the General Security Directorate's personnel and empower them in dealing with individuals with disabilities. This demonstrates the Directorate's commitment to the importance of inclusive societal and humanitarian roles that it carries out through its various units, taking into consideration the needs and specificities of all segments of society, especially individuals with disabilities. At the end of the workshop, the Jordanian Autism Spectrum Disorder Association organized a closing session, during which Mr. Mofeq Al-Zamil, the Association's President, spoke about the initiative's significance and the importance of the General Security Directorate's participation alongside the local community in supporting individuals with disabilities in general, and those with Autism Spectrum Disorder in particular. To conclude the event, Colonel Butay Shishani delivered a motivational speech to the General Security Directorate personnel and distributed certificates to them, expressing gratitude for the warm welcome from the hospital and acknowledging the efforts of the Jordanian Autism Spectrum Disorder Association.
