the field of awareness of the causes of learning disabilities came in the first place and at an average level.

the results also showed that there were statistically significant differences between the responses of the sample members due to the educational level variable, while there were no differences due to the variables of the guardian’s age and preferred TV channel; the results also showed a set of reasons related to parents, TV channels and the higher council for the rights of persons with disabilities (HCE), which do not contribute to enhancing the role of Jordanian TV channels in raising awareness of these issues.
