Nura Kabbul, a student of the Lebanese University who is pursuing her Master’s degree at the Deanship of the Faculty of Letter and Human Sciences - Clinical Psychology - decided to change the term "people with special needs" and replace it with "Ashab Al Izam" (People with Determination) hoping for a better society.
The term was registered in the Ministry of Economy and Commerce and published in the Official Gazette on 12 July 2018 under No. 6692. Kabbul wishes to disseminate the use of this term in all associations, social institutions, civil society institutions and the media due to its positive impact on this group of people.
