    This study tries to explore the function that the media plays in supporting the social construction process within the context of inclusive education services. The impact of the media is one of the multiple variables that contribute to the broad adoption of inclusive education. Other contributing aspects include: To be more specific, what part do different kinds of media play in the social construction that makes up inclusive education? It is vital to do qualitative research to shed light on the function that the media plays in building and inviting classrooms to create. The selection of the test population to evaluate the performance of the inclusive education program required a great deal of attention to detail and consideration. The data for this research was gathered using a variety of methods, including observation, interviews, and written records. When looking at the data that was acquired, a descriptive qualitative analysis was performed. It has been found, after considerable discussion, that the speed with which social construction may occur in the classroom is closely tied to the efficacy of the media in aiding student comprehension. This conclusion was reached after much deliberation

    This study has two primary objectives: first, to determine whether or not students with visual impairments make use of multimedia services, and second, to compile a list of the challenges that handicapped face while attempting to use such services. This research was a descriptive qualitative field study that used a qualitative technique of qualitative description. In addition to interviews and written documentation, observation was another method that was used while compiling this data. The study is significant as it shows the availability of media services in schools’ libraries for students with disabilities. According to the findings of this investigation, pupils seem to make effective use of the multimedia services provided by the library for patrons with disabilities. The library offers a variety of services and amenities. Students use of technology, such as laptops and projectors, to get access to material via both visual and audible channels might be seen as evidence that they have achieved this goal. The inadequacy of the service infrastructure and the antiquated nature of the technology makes it difficult to make use of the benefits offered by multimedia services. In addition, there is a severe lack of librarians with experience working with multimedia technology in the worlds educational institutions at the present moment

    The study investigates the effectiveness of using a peer learning strategy to reduce the intensity of repetitive stereotypical behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder, and to identify the extent to which the effectiveness of the program continues after the end of the application through a follow-up assessment. The study was applied in Jordan, and the semi-experimental approach was used on the study sample that was selected by the intentional method consisting of (10) children with autism spectrum disorder, their ages ranging from (5-7) years. The researchers developed the scale of stereotypical behavior based on theoretical literature and previous studies, in addition to developing a program based on the use of peer learning strategy to reduce repetitive stereotypical behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder. The results showed that there were significant differences between the average scores of children (experimental sample) on the dimensions of repetitive stereotyped behavior (sensory, motor, verbal, emotional, stereotyped, total score) in the pre and post-measurements in favor of post-measurement Moreover, there were no significant differences between the averages of the childrens (experimental sample) on the dimensions of stereotyped repetitive behavior (sensory, motor, verbal, emotional, stereotyped, total grade) in the post- measurement. The study recommended the importance of using a peer learning strategy to develop desirable behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder
