Abstract

This online survey study investigated 98 Saudi Arabian parents’ levels of anxiety about school services for their children with intellectual disabilities according to two anxiety subscales: environment and communication, as per demographic variables. The findings demonstrate that there are no statistically considerable distinctions in parental anxiousness about the school setting or information exchange based on gender, and there are also no statistically meaningful distinctions in parental anxiousness about the school setting based on parental degree of education. Nonetheless, parents with a bachelors degree or more report far less worry than those with a high school diploma or less. Also, the results show that parents of elementary school, middle school and high school children experience various degrees of anxiety about the school environment, and that parents of elementary school children and high school students experience different rates of anxiety about school communication. Overall, parents who had children in higher grade levels were less anxious about their children’s school environment and communication.
