Abstract
This study aimed to identify the level of psychological resilience among teachers of intellectual disability adolescents and
adolescents with autism disordered. The sample of the study consisted of (67) male and female teachers working in special
education centers with intellectual disability adolescents and adolescents with autism disordered in Amman the capital of
Jordan. Researchers had developed the Psychological resilience scale, which was administrated on the participants after
computing stability and validity. The results indicated that the level of psychological resilience was moderate among
teachers of intellectual disability adolescents, while it was high among teachers of adolescents with autism disorder. Also the
results revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in the level of psychological resilience differences due
to the gender of the teacher.
Keywords: Psychological resilience, adolescents, intellectual disability, autism spectrum.
