people representing governmental and non-governmental institutions and agencies, as well as representatives of various media, were trained to embrace the concepts and provisions of the Convention. For the first time in Jordan, the NCHR involved trainers with different disabilities and translated the training materials into Braille method, in addition to bringing sign language interpreters in all the workshops that have been implemented. In this connection, the following observations were recorded: 1. Awareness-raising programs prompt dealing positively with persons with disabilities under the title of "integration". Then, these programs address the importance of participation of persons with disabilities in all walks of life, through the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms that came in the international conventions, most notably the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. 2. The media is considered the authentic and leading interface in the process of adopting national attitudes and issues. It had active participation in the specialized training programs, which helped to make a quantum leap in dealing with disability issues. 3. Persons with disabilities suffer from society's perception towards them, as they are normally dealt with in an inferior way or with pity and sorrow. Families of some persons with disabilities explained this problem, noting that disability does not represent a defect that detracts from the standing of the family in society. The most important areas where such violation occurs are the governorates of Irbid and Ajloun, where increasing complaint about the lack of awareness appears. 49
