الآثار النفسية والإجتماعية لدى الأطفال ذوي إضطراب طيف التوحد المدمجين من وجهة نظر أسرهم في الأردن
The study aimed to study the degree of perceived psychological and social effects among children with autism spectrum disorder who are integrated from the perspective of their families in Jordan. The study included 70 families. To achieve the aim of the study, the researcher constructed the study scale and verified its validity and reliability. To answer the study questions, a descriptive survey method was used. The results indicated that the dimension of social effects came in first place with the highest average compared to the dimension of psychological effects, which came in last place. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences attributable to the effect of academic qualification in both psychological and social effects between families with a high school level or less, bachelor’s degrees, and postgraduate studies, and the differences were in favor of postgraduate studies in psychological effects. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of income in the psychological field between those with incomes of 300 and below and 800 and above, and the differences were in favor of 800 and above. The study recommended studying the opinions of siblings and teachers about the psychological and social effects of inclusive education on persons with autism spectrum disorder. (Author’s abstract)
