I thought this was a pretty interesting article from "King Saud University, Journal of Dental Sciences" published July 2011 about Craniofacial features in Saudi children who have Down's Syndrome.
First, to know what Craniofacial Characteristics/abnormalities are, check out this site (its really informational about the features) http://www.lpch.org/DiseaseHealthInfo/HealthLibrary/craniofacial/cfaover.html
THEN proceed to the article about the study that was conducted....

This blog is to educate parents and educators in Saudi Arabia about children who suffer from different types of disabilities. Without the proper knowledge and background information, it is difficult for 1 to meet the needs of those who are in need of Tender, Love and Care (TLC). With this information I am hoping more children can be nurtured and cared for properly, while parents and educators are educated and enlightened.

This article is about accessibility for those with special needs in King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The airport is expanding and accomodating those who have trouble getting around the airport by providing wheelchairs, etc.

Sign Language
http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentID=2010031966804
This article is a little old but speaks about the usage of Sign language and the training program available. I actually wonder how different American Sign Lanuage is from the sign language used in Saudi.
