الملخص EN

The current study aimed to investigate the degree of satisfaction of parents of children with mental disabilities about the early intervention programs offered to their children in special education centers in the Capital Governorate and the obstacles to their application from their point of view in the light of some variables represented by gender, degree of disability, and age at injury.

The study sample consisted of (80) parents, and they were selected by stratified random method.

To achieve the objectives of the study, two scales were built: the scale of the degree of parents’ satisfaction with early intervention programs, and the scale of obstacles to implementing early intervention programs in special education centers, and the psychometric properties of the two scales were verified.

The results of the study showed that the degree of satisfaction of parents of children with mental disabilities with the intervention programs was at a low level, with an arithmetic mean of the total score (1.80), while the obstacles to the application were at a high level and the arithmetic mean of the total score was (3.73).

The results of the current study also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α = 0.05) in the level of parents' satisfaction according to the variable of gender, age at injury, and the presence of statistically significant differences according to the variable degree of disability in favor of simple mental disability.

The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (a = 0.05) in the level of obstacles to applying early intervention programs according to the variable of gender, degree of disability, and age at injury.
