Abstract

The current research aims to identify the intellectual resilience of female trainers of autistic children. The sample consisted of (200) female trainers of autistic children in the city of Baghdad during the academic year (2024-2025). The researcher constructed a scale to measure intellectual resilience according to the theory of (Cobasa 1974), in addition to her knowledge of previous measures related to intellectual resilience After extracting the psychometric properties, reliability and validity of the scale, the final version of the scale consisted of 30 items with five response options . Then the researchers distributed the scale to the research community selected from autism centers and institutes in Baghdad.The statistical methods used were arithmetic means, standard deviations and the t-test for a single sample. The results showed that the calculated t-value of (10.77) was greater than the tabulated t-value of (1.96), which means that the sample of autistic children's trainers possessed intellectual resilience.
