This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of licensed early intervention programs in Jordan. The study adopted a descriptive survey methodology, constructing a scale for the effectiveness of licensed early intervention programs in Jordan, consisting of 80 items across eleven domains. The study tool was distributed conveniently to all licensed early intervention centers in Jordan and was answered by 143 parents of children enrolled in those centers. The results indicated that the effectiveness of licensed early intervention programs in Jordan was rated as moderate by parents on the overall scale. The results revealed statistically significant differences attributed to the variable of the parent in the assessment domain, favoring mothers. Significant differences were also found on the overall scale attributed to the educational level variable, favoring parents with an educational level less than a diploma or secondary education. Furthermore, statistically significant differences on the overall scale were attributed to the geographic location variable, favoring parents' assessments in the southern and northern regions. The study recommended supporting technical procedures and conducting more studies on the impact of family empowerment in such programs.
