Abstract

The research aimed to identify the level of quality of life among mothers of children with disabilities (mental, autism spectrum disorder), as well as to identify the differences in their quality of life according to the variable of the mother's educational level and the type of disability. The researcher adopted the descriptive approach and the tool is the quality of life questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The research sample consisted of (40) mothers of children with disabilities who visit the Women’s Support and Empowerment Center in Lattakia. They were drawn in a simple random manner. The results showed that the largest percentage of mothers (57.5%) have a low level of quality of life. The quality of life of mothers did not differ according to the mother’s educational level and the type of child’s disability.
