Apart .fi'om the primmy aim, the secondmy objective of the paper is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability, and to compile recommendations on what would make the KTP more acceptable and feasible for these women. The development of the KTP was facilitated by modules development that featured consultation with content and training experts. A pre-post test design was used to test the acceptability and feasibility of the KTP with 50 assistant teachers. The KTP modules discussed in the current paper consisted of two modules contents and activities that support learning/or psychological-based knowledge and skills in managing the children with atypical development.
