这项研究的目的是确定残疾儿童（CWD）的约旦父母的信念，包括智力残疾、特殊学习障碍和自闭症谱系障碍：既包括这些残疾的原因，也包括其子女取得进步的能力。采用定性解释方法。采用访谈法收集63名慢性消耗病患儿家长的资料。出现了两大主题，涉及对残疾原因和儿童进步的信念。调查结果显示，一般来说，残疾是由于超自然和生物医学原因造成的;而且，大多数父母对子女的进步，特别是在教育技能方面的进步抱有积极的期望，并对子女的未来抱有希望。根据研究结果提出了结论和影响。
This study aims to identify the beliefs of Jordanian parents of children with disabilities (CWD), including intellectual disabilities, specific learning disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorder: both in terms of the causes of these disabilities, and the ability of their children to make progress. A qualitative interpretive methodology was employed. Interviews were used to collect data from 63 parents of CWD. Two major themes emerged concerning beliefs about the causes of disability and children's progress. Results showed generally that disabilities were attributed to supernatural and biomedical causes; also, most parents had positive expectations about their children's progress, especially in education skills, and had hopes for their children's futures. Conclusions and implications are presented in the light of the study findings.
