"This child does not learn Like others though He is intelligent" Mme Marianne Klees The Lebanese Center for Special Education (CLES) is a nonprofit organisation created by the Lebanese and expatriates. Its goal is to help all the children who are learning disabled, the "forgotten" children of Lebanon. They risk developing a spiral of failure by having a negative image of themselves and undergoing progressive marginalization if they don't receive professional individualized help early enough. My personal experience leads me to reiterate the following message: the faster we detect the trouble, the more successfully we can help the child. CLES wishes to offer theses children the chance to overcome theses problems, and to give the best of themselves. Instead of becoming a burden to their family and to society, they can become active ad productive and contribute to the development of the country. This is the reason why CLES has just opened the first Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Learning Disabilities (CITTA) in Lebanon. The following step will be to create a specialized school for the learning disabled (Les Blés d'Or) to address the needs of those among them who are suffering from being integrated in ordinary schools. Lebanon and the Arab countries will certainly from theses structures. The task ahead of us is huge. Every human or financial contribution is not only welcome but crucial. President Carmen Chahine
