Background Resource-based, family-centred practices are associated with better health, emotional, and social well-being of children with disabilities. The adequacy of resources available for families of children with disabilities in Middle Eastern countries has not been described adequately in part because of lack of measures that are culturally adapted to be used in Arabic countries. Therefore, this study aims to (1) to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic- Family Resource Scale ( A- FRS) on a sample of families of children cerebral palsy ( CP); (2) examine the adequacy of family resources as perceived by parents of children with CP in Jordan; and (3) examine the influence of child and family demographic variables on how parents report resources available to their families. Method A cross-section design was applied. One-hundred fifteen parents of children with CP with mean age 4.6 years ( SD = 4.4) and their parents participated in the study.
