Summary/Abstract: The current research aims to identify the teachers of students with intellectual disabilities’ satisfaction level with distance education and explore the differences between satisfaction levels due to gender and experience variables. The sample consisted of 84 teachers (male = 44, female = 40) who were chosen with the stratified random method where the percentage of the sample to the original population is 70%. The quantitative research method was used through a descriptive research approach by applying the teachers of students with intellectual disabilities’ satisfaction with the distance education scale. Results demonstrated that teachers of students with intellectual disabilities had a high level of satisfaction with distance education in terms of the overall degree of the scale and its four axes. Besides, there were no statistically significant differences in the teachers' satisfaction levels with distance education due to gender (male and female) and years of experience. In light of the research results, recommendations were presented to increase the satisfaction level of teachers of students with their intellectual development and further research suggestions were presented.
