Thanks to the passage of the American with Disabilities Act in 1990, the United States is a world leader in protecting and promoting the civil rights of PWDs. Partnering Jordanian organizations with American institutions will showcase America’s global leadership, provide Jordanians with an authentic glimpse into America’s achievements on protecting the civil rights of PWDs, and create bonds between American and Jordanian communities. The Empowered Parents In Charge (EPIC) program will celebrate American excellence by spotlighting the achievements of specific Americans while offering best practices about and sharing aspects of the American experience to equip Jordanian parents of children with disabilities with advocacy skills, legal frameworks, financial resources, and civic engagement training. Parents will be empowered to ensure their children remain in school, are prepared for employment opportunities, and ultimately contribute to Jordan's economic growth and stability, thus reinforcing Jordan as a reliable regional partner to advance U.S. interests. Finally, the EPIC program will demonstrate how American excellence in the science, technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) arenas have benefited PWDs and explore ways Jordanians could apply such innovations to advocating and supporting PWDs.
