Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the degree of bullying against adolescent students with disabilities integrated into regular schools from the point of view of educational counselors. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical model was followed. The sample of the study consisted of (30) educational counselors working in the schools of Mafraq Governorate. The bullying behavior scale for adolescent students with disabilities was used. The results of the study showed that the level of bullying for adolescent students with disabilities integrated in regular schools was moderate. The results of the study also showed that there were statistically significant differences due to the gender variable in favor of males. The study recommended a number of recommendations, including creating awareness programs directed at students and their families about the importance of accepting students with disabilities integrated into regular schools and not directing violence or offence to them.
