Abstract

The study aimed to identify the importance of family counseling in supporting parents' acceptance of their disabled children from their point of view in Jordan. The study used the descriptive survey method. The study members consisted of an intentional sample of (100) guardians (father and mother) with disabled children in government centers in the capital, Amman. The results showed the importance of family counseling in supporting parents' acceptance of their disabled children. The result was based on the dimensions sequentially. The first dimension: acceptance of disability, was high with an arithmetic average of (3.94) and a rate of 78.8%, and the second dimension: the educational situation, was high with an arithmetic average of (3.80) and a rate of 76%, the third dimension: the social situation is high, with a mean of (3.73), and by 74.6%. As for the fourth dimension: the economic situation, it came to an average with an arithmetic mean of (3.37), and by 67.4%, and the total degree of the dimensions was at a high degree, with an arithmetic average of (3.69), and a rate of 73.8. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences due to the effect of the educational qualification in all fields and the total degree and that there were statistically significant differences due to the effect of the economic level in all fields and in the total degree, which came in favor of the low economic level.
