Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities participating in the Paralympic games. The sample consisted of (64) participants with physical, visual and hearing disabilities enrolled in Oman Paralympic Committee and Jordan Paralympic Committee. To achieve the objective of the study, an electronic rating scale was developed and distributed to the participants. The scale consisted of (60) items divided into three subscales: administrative and technical challenges, logistics challenges, and psychological and social challenges. The results indicated that the participants face a number of challenges in the administrative, technical, psychological and social, financial, and logistics but the level of these challenges differs according to the country in favor of individuals with disabilities in Jordan and no statistical differences due to the type of disability. This study recommended establishing of academic programs in Jordanian and Omani universities to prepare trainers in the sport of individuals with disabilities, holding workshops for employees in this sport, and including players with health insurance and social security.

الملخص
هدفت هذه الدراسة للتعرف إلى التحديات التي تواجه الأفراد ذوي الإعاقة المشاركين في الألعاب البارالمبية، حيث تكونت عينة الدراسة من (64) مشارك في الألعاب البارالمبية من ذوي الإعاقات الحركية والسمعية والبصرية منتسِبين للجنة البارالمبية العُمانية واللجنة البارالمبية الأردنية. ولتحقيق هدف الدراسة تمّ تطوير استبانة تألفت من (60) فقرة قسمت إلى ثلاثة مجالات هي: التحديات الإدارية والفنية، التحديات اللوجستية، والتحديات النفسية والاجتماعية، وزعت الاستبانة على أفراد عينة الدراسة. أشارت النتائج بشكل عام بأنّ أفراد العينة يواجهون بدرجة متوسطة عدد من التحديات الإدارية والفنية والنفسية والاجتماعية واللوجستية، ولكنّ مستوى هذه التحديات يختلف باختلاف الدولة والتي كانت لصالح الأفراد ذوي الإعاقة في الأردن، كما أنّه لا توجد فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية تُعزى لمُتغير نوع الإعاقة. أوصت الدراسة باستحداث برامج أكاديمية في الجامعات الأردنية والعُمانية لإعداد مدربين في رياضة الأفراد ذوي الإعاقة وعقد ورش تدريبية للعاملين بهذه الرياضة بالإضافة إلى شمول اللاعبين بنظام التأمين الصحي والضمان الاجتماعي.
