Abstract

This study examined the Ministry of Youth services level provided to people with disabilities in Jordan from their viewpoint. It also examined if there are significant differences in the level of services due to the sex, type of disability, and age. To achieve the study's aims, a convenience sample was selected, consisting of (91) young men and women with visual, hearing, and physical disabilities, and applied to the Ministry of Youth services level scale. The study results indicated that the level of services provided by the Ministry of Youth to people with disabilities, from their viewpoint, was moderate. The study results also showed no differences in the level of services in general due to the sex, type of disability, and age.
