ABSTRACT

This study aimed to identify the symptoms of anxiety among students with learning disabilities from the perspective of their parents in Ajloun Governorate. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher prepared a questionnaire and distributed it to a sample of (76) parents of students with learning disabilities randomly. Statistical analysis showed that the levels of anxiety among students with learning difficulties ranged between (1.72) to (2.03) with an arithmetic mean of all fields of study. The results showed no statistically significant differences at the level of (α=0.05) in the level of symptoms of anxiety among students with learning disabilities from the parents' point of view in Ajloun Governorate. According to the variables of grade, specifically third and fourth, and gender: male are opposed to female. The study found out that there is average anxiety among students with learning disabilities from their parents' point of view regarding the six areas of anxiety that were studied anaphorically, except for two items in the domain of 'school rejection behaviour': (Students had difficulty in understanding most lessons) and (They feel comfortable staying at home) to a high degree, which is evident that there is a relationship between anxiety and learning difficulties. As well, this level of anxiety among this group of students does not differ in terms of gender or study grade.
