Abstract

The study aimed at examining the difference in the study variables, namely spiritual intelligence, self-efficacy, and linguistic delay with regard to different demographic variables: (the mother’s educational level, her age, and the child’s sex) in addition to assessing the effectiveness of a spiritual intelligence development program and a  language intervention program for children with language impairment on a sample of (90) male and female children and their mothers, and an experimental sample of (10) children and their mothers. Spiritual intelligence, self-efficacy and linguistic delay measurement scales were examined on the test subjects in addition to the assessment of a spiritual intelligence development program on the mothers as well as a language intervention program for linguistically impaired children. Statistical differences between spiritual intelligence and the mother’s level of education were found in favor of highly educated mothers. Moreover, there were statistical differences based on the mother’s age in the self-efficacy scale in favor of older mothers. On the contrary, there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of males and females on each of the total score of the linguistic delay scale of receptive and expressive language. Results also show positive impacts of the spiritual intelligence development program as well as the language intervention program on the experimental sample.
