Abstract EN

This study aims to examine the reality and obstacles of coordination between teachers and supervisors from their perspective to provision the transition services for students with intellectual disabilities in Riyadh.

to achieve this objective, the researcher implemented a descriptive method and utilized the survey as a tool to collect data.

the sample of the study consisted of 97 middle and secondary school teachers, as well as 15 supervisors.

the study found that the level of coordination between teachers and supervisors is high with an average mean of 3.78 from teachers’ perspectives, and 4.07 from supervisors’ perspectives.

the results revealed that most of obstacles to coordination between teachers and supervisors are (a) focus on academic goals more than transition goals in the IEPs, (b) the teachers are unable to follow goals outside of school because they are busy with teaching, and (c) there are no teams working to achieve IEPs objective.

finally, the study found there were no statistically significant differences between the sample responses in the variables (academic degree, school level, and gender).
