    The rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Arab countries necessitates evidence-based interventions. Assistive technology (AT) presents a promising approach. However, data on the pervasiveness of AT use and its effectiveness for individuals with ASD, specifically within Arab countries, remain scarce. Objective: To review the current literature on the AT interventions and outcomes reported for individuals with ASD in Arab countries. Methods: A scoping review adhering to PRISMA guidelines was undertaken to explore the utilization of AT, segmented into three categories: low-technology (low-tech), mid-technology (mid-tech), and high-technology (high-tech) devices. Results: Twelve studies had a pooled sample of 1547 participants, primarily male school-aged children with ASD. The AT applications evaluated ranged from low-tech visual schedules and support to high-tech virtual reality systems. Studies have reported the potential benefits of AT in improving communication, social, academic, adaptive, and functional abilities; however, comparative evidence between AT interventions is limited. The identified barriers to the adoption of AT included caregiver uncertainty about the use of AT and a lack of awareness of AT among professionals and the Arab community in general. Conclusion: Available studies suggest that the adoption of AT can enhance the skills of individuals with ASD in Arab countries. However, more rigorous studies across diverse demographic groups and Arab national regions are needed to strengthen the evidence base and provide appropriate recommendations.

Through detailed analysis, our study underscored the significance of qualitative research in providing profound insights into human experiences, enhancing our understanding of complex social phenomena, and informing more empathetic and effective interventions. Discussion: Our findings advocate for integrating qualitative approaches to enrich the depth and breadth of research, ultimately contributing to more comprehensive and impactful solutions in diverse fields. Take-home message: This article highlights how qualitative research methods such as grounded theory, case studies, and ethnography offer essential insights into human behavior and social phenomena. These methods enable deep exploration of complex issues, enhancing research validity and impact across disciplines.

    Promoting a healthy school environment via social-emotional learning in the high school setting: An overview
    (International Network for the Advancement of Medicine, Psychology, and Public Health (INAMPPH), 2024) Tusha, Almeda; Bulut, Sefa; al-Hendawi, Maha; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
    Adolescence is a period of incredible growth, discovery, and possibility. Nevertheless, it is also a stage when behavioral and physiological issues can arise or intensify, with long-term adverse effects up to adulthood. The target audience consists of high school students, educators, school administrators, and families since adolescents at this stage find it challenging to discover and maintain their identity. Consequently, if adolescents do not adequately develop their social-emotional skills up to high school or are challenged by their environment, the chance of becoming disobedient, troublesome, low-performers, and so on arises. Fostering social-emotional learning promotes a safe and positive educational atmosphere in which all adolescents are encouraged to speak out, embrace difficulties, take risks, and strive for success. Nowadays, social-emotional learning remains one of the most practical frameworks used in schools, boosting self-awareness, academic success, and positive behaviors both in and out of the classroom.
