The validity of the tool was verified by presenting it to a number of arbitrators, as well as through the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the stability coefficient was calculated for the study tool with its different dimensions by the method of internal consistency by calculating the Cronbach alpha equation, as the value of the stability of the tool for specialists was (91.4%), and thus it enjoys The tool has a high degree of stability. The results showed that the averages of educational programs and services provided to children with autism spectrum disorder in special education centers in the northern governorates, from the specialists' point of view, were high, as the arithmetic mean of the total score was (4.00) and the total standard deviation was (0.29).
