The report records 74,062 participants in this category and names a UAE contestant among those shortlisted.
Why it matters in the UAE
For UAE families and schools, the category offers a visible example of disabled students participating in a major Arabic reading programme. This is coverage of the final stage, not an announcement that applications are open.
What you can do
Follow the organiser's announcements for confirmed results. Families interested in a future edition should ask their school about registration and accessible reading arrangements; this report does not establish the next entry dates or public admission to the ceremony.
