Teachers’ Perceptions of Parental Involvement in Inclusive Education. Educ. Sci.,14, 294.

Background: It is widely agreed that mutual partnerships between school staff and parents of
students are key to creating robust frameworks of inclusive education for students with disabilities.
This study explores special education teachers’ perceptions of involving parents of students with
disabilities in mainstream schools in Jordan. (2) Methods: This research employs a descriptive
quantitative method in the form of a Google-Forms-based online questionnaire with closed-ended
questions. (3) Results: The findings indicate that parents were moderately involved in the education
of their disabled children; that these parents perceived teachers and school principal to be
instrumental in encouraging their involvement in this respect; and that parents face many obstacles
to such involvement in their children’s education. (4) Conclusions: The findings point to a need for
policymakers to create legislation that enables and mandates the involvement of parents with
children with disabilities in inclusive education settings in order to implement constructive models
of parental involvement where parents can be treated as equal partners in the educational process.

Autism Spectrum Disorder during COVID-19: A qualitative study. International Journal of Special
Education, 38(1), 34–42. https://doi.org/10.52291/ijse.2023.38.3.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant psychological effects on parents, especially parents
of children with autism spectrum disorders. This qualitative study explores the mental health of
Jordanian parents of children with autism spectrum disorder during COVID-19. Through phone
interviews with nine such parents, this study found that the pandemic was a great source of stress
and anxiety for parents of autistic children in Jordan, which was exacerbated by a lack of formal
support for them and their children. This study also found that parents relied on their religious
beliefs, shared childcare responsibilities, and engaged in social and family activities to mitigate the
psychological toll of raising children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

on having their intellectually disabled daughters undergo hysterectomies: A qualitative study.
Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 0(0). https://doi.org/10.1177/17446295231192735
The current study aims to identify Jordanian mothers' perspectives on their intellectually disabled
daughters receiving hysterectomies. A qualitative methodology was employed; for the study
sample, twelve mothers were chosen using a snowballing technique. Semi-structured interviews
were carried out, and thematic analysis was utilized. Two main themes arose from the data analysis
process: the reasons why mothers made the decision for their daughters to have hysterectomies which included fears about unwanted pregnancy and keeping family honor - despite this conflicting
with their religious and cultural values, and their concerns about their daughters having
hysterectomies. Based on these findings, some implications and suggestions for future research
were provided.
