Abstract
In this paper, we examine the impact of a sports program on the social skills of deaf individuals. The sample
consisted of 60 deaf individuals in Zarqa Governorate, with 40 individuals randomly selected for the study. The sample
was divided into an experimental group of 20 individuals and a control group of 20 individuals. The effectiveness of the
sports program in developing social skills was evaluated using a scale specifically designed for deaf individuals. The
results, analyzed using statistical methods, demonstrated that the sports program effectively improved the social skills of
the deaf individuals. These findings were consistent with previous studies, and several recommendations were made to
aid in the integration of deaf individuals into society.
