Abstract
The current study intended to identify the degree of teachers of learning disabilities’ cognitive and awareness of the rare syndromes associated with learning disabilities at Sultanate of Oman: a case study of Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes. Descriptive design was adopted. The study sample consists of (170) teachers of learning disabilities who were selected randomly. The researchers developed the Knowledge Validation Inventory, which consist of (26) items for Angelman syndrome and (34) items for Prader-Willi syndrome distributed in four domains. The results showed that the level of awareness of Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes was low in general. Regarding the importance of knowledge, teachers of learning disabilities asserted that awareness of the rare syndromes associated with learning disabilities by teachers of learning disabilities is very important. According to variables, the results showed that there were no significant differences in the awareness of the Angelman syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome due to major variables except diagnosis domain, there were significant differences in favor of special education majors. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the awareness of the Angelman syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome due to years of experience variable except intellectual and cognitive characteristics domain, the results showed that there were significant differences in the awareness of the Prader-Willi syndrome in favor of teachers of learning disabilities experienced above five years. In light of results, the current study suggested several recommendations.
