الملخص EN

The aim of the study was to compare the Self-determination Level in three groups of Students with neurodevelopmental disorders (intellectual disability, Dyslexia disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) on the one hand, and between them and their typically developing peers on the other hand.

The researchers applied the self-determination scale (by researchers) on a sample consisted of (185) male and female students with neurodevelopmental disorders and their peers with typically developing ages (13-18) years from four government schools in Alexandria Governorate (Egypt).

The results indicated that there were a statistically significant decrease in the Self-determination level among students with neurodevelopmental disorders (intellectual disability, Dyslexia disorder, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder) compared to students with typically developing, and statistically significant differences in the Self-determination level among students with neurodevelopmental disorders and their typically developing peers in favor of students with typically developing.

The results of the paper also indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the Self-determination level between students with neurodevelopmental disorders and students with typically developing according to the gender variable in favor of male students.

Finally, the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the Self-determination level between students with neurodevelopmental disorders and students with typically developing according to the age variable in favor of students aged (16-18).

Recommendations, Suggestions for future research and implications were also discussed.
