مستخلص: The study aimed to codify the original scale of a highly sensitive person on a sample of the Saudi environment. The researcher translated the original scale developed by Elaine Aron and Arthur Aron in 1997 into Arabic and verified its validity and stability. The study population included a sample of (1091) residents in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which consisted of (623) females and (468) males. The researcher used the descriptive approach in this study, and concluded that the highly sensitive person scale could be used to measure sensory processing among individuals in the Saudi environment, by showing the indicators of reliability and stability that can be trusted. As a result, seven factors were extracted for the structure of the scale, including: ease of excitement, low sensory threshold, aesthetic sensitivity, hyperstimulation, risk avoidance, negative emotion, and sensitivity to external stimuli.

The questionnaire in this study consisted two sections, the first section included general information about the sample members of the study, while the second section included thirty (30) items representing the level of need for teaching assistants the in special education programs. The sample of the study included (1076) teachers (male and female} who were working in special education programs. The results of the study showed that there is a critical need for teaching assistants in these institutes and programs. This need has been emphasized according to the following nature of the roles and tasks and its importance as follows: supporting academic work, assisting in supervision, monitoring and follow-up, assisting in evaluation and planning programs, or helping in daily routine and supporting in communication. The results of the study revealed that there were statistical differences on the level of need for teaching assistants according to gender variable among the sample for female teachers. However, the results showed statistically significant differences at only three domains of five on the level of the need for teaching assistants due to the difference in the type of disability of the students who are treated by the sample members. Finally, the study presented a set of recommendations in the light of its results, which can help to provide teaching assistants for those programs and institutes to work together with special education teachers and enhance the educational process for students with disabilities.
