Materials and Methods: It was an interventional study with pre and post control group design. A total of 30 students (9 th to 12 th grades) were randomly allocated into 5 groups consisting of 6 students in each group. The educational intervention program was implemented for 3 weeks and 2 days per week. The students were taught about all types of disabilities, with a particular emphasis on physical disabilities, blindness, and intellectual disability. A questionnaire with open-ended questions was used to collect pre and post-data. The responses of participants were decoded. A Z-test was applied for qualitative analysis with a P-value< 0.05 as significant. Results: The pre-test and post-test comparison showed a significant improvement in overall disability knowledge. The findings were especially noteworthy when it came to attitudes toward teaching disabled students in a regular classroom. Conclusion: Disability education awareness programs promote knowledge about different disabilities as well as foster acceptance and understanding towards disabled people. Clinical Significance: Negative attitudes toward disabled people lead to negative health outcomes, and a disability awareness program in schools can reduce negative health consequences for disabled students by promoting a positive, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
