How to find a special education specialist near you
1. Share your location or pick your area
Tap “Use my location”, or choose your governorate or district if you prefer not to share it. Distances are measured from that point.
2. Narrow the list
Keep only doctors available now or female doctors, and open a profile for qualifications, clinic address and accepted insurance.
3. Call, message or get directions
Every card shows the distance, and the profile has the contact options and a directions link to the clinic.
Before you choose a special education specialist
A special education specialist assesses the learning and behavior skills of children with learning difficulties, developmental delay or autism, and builds an individual education plan with the family and school. They are not physicians, so they work alongside pediatricians, speech therapists and occupational therapists. Because sessions are regular, a center close to home or school makes it easier to keep going and less tiring for the child.
Whether you searched for “learning difficulties center near me”, “autism center near me”, “special needs teacher near me” or “special education specialist near me”, this page lists the published profiles in Jordan and sorts them by distance from you.
When to see a special education specialist
Your child is behind peers of the same age in speech, movement or social skills.
Reading, writing or math stays difficult despite steady support at school and at home.
Your child has a medical diagnosis of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability and needs an individual education plan.
Teachers keep reporting poor focus, trouble following instructions or difficulty settling into the classroom.
You want a skills assessment before school entry or before moving to a new grade or school.
What to bring to your visit
Bring any medical, psychological or speech assessment reports you already have for the child.
Bring school or nursery reports and a few samples of notebooks and homework if available.
Write down what you notice about behavior and daily skills, plus the questions you want to ask.
Plan for a short first visit and bring a familiar toy or snack so the child feels at ease.
When to go to the emergency department instead
If the child has a first seizure, a seizure that lasts or repeats, or does not wake up afterwards, call 911 now.
If the child injures themselves badly enough to cause a wound or bleeding, or swallows something dangerous, go to the emergency department.
A sudden loss of skills together with fever, confusion or weakness on one side of the body needs emergency care, not a learning center.
If the child wanders away from home or school and cannot be found, call 911 without delay.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a special education specialist near me?
Tap “Use my location” at the top of this page and allow location access: the special education specialists are re-sorted by distance from you, with the distance on every card. If you prefer not to share your location, pick your governorate or district instead.
Does ClinicsJo keep my location?
Your approximate location (rounded to about 100 metres) is only used to calculate distances for this search. It is not linked to an account and it is never added to the page address, so a shared link does not reveal where you are.
Where are special education specialists listed in Jordan?
ClinicsJo lists 2 special education specialists in 1 governorate. Most are in Amman (2). Each governorate link below opens the full local list.
What if there is no special education specialist close to me?
The search widens step by step (5, 10, 25, 50, 100 then 200 km) until it finds listings, and tells you how far it went. You can also pick a neighbouring governorate from the list.
Can I see who is available now?
Turn on “Available now” to keep doctors whose declared working hours include the current time in Amman. Hours are declared by each clinic, so call before you go.
Does a special education specialist diagnose autism or ADHD?
No. A medical diagnosis is made by a doctor such as a developmental pediatrician, child psychiatrist or neurologist, often with a multidisciplinary team. The special education specialist assesses learning and behavior skills, then builds and delivers the individual plan. Sharing the medical report helps them set more precise goals.
How often does a child need special education sessions?
It depends on the assessment results and on the needs and age of the child, and the specialist agrees the schedule with the family. Regular attendance and practice at home matter more than any single session. Ask for the plan and progress reports to be reviewed at set intervals.
