All the studied sample (100%) has poor knowledge regarding to reproductive health in pre test while their knowledge improved in post test to 58.8%. There was highly statistically significant difference between disabled girls' knowledge and type of disability in follow-up test (P= 0.000*). Conclusion: All the studied girls have poor knowledge in pre test while after implementation the education programe their knowledge were improved. The study recommended that: Continues health education programs should be implemented for increasing awareness of them about reproductive health.

Background: Persons with disabilities represent a significant portion of the world’s population and they are part of every community. They find that information on reproductive health (RH) is often inaccessible to them. Aim: evaluate the impact of an educational program about RH for blind and deaf adolescent girls. Methods: it was Quasi-experimental research design which conducted in Al Noor and Al Amal Schools in Assiut Governorate. The total sample was 80 girls. Tools: it included three tools: - a structured interview sheet, to assess disabled girls’ knowledge and attitudes towards RH and an observational checklist (using doll) to assess practice related perineal care. Results: All the studied sample (100%) has poor knowledge regarding to RH in pre test while their knowledge improved in post test to 58.8%. Regarding to perineal care, all of the studied sample (100%) carried out all steps of perineal care except three steps which include the correct direction for cleaning the perineum, while their practice improved in post and follow up test. Conclusion: All the studied girls have poor knowledge in pre test while after implementation the education programe their knowledge were improved (P= ≤ 0.001). Recommendation: Continues health education programs should be implemented for increasing awareness of them about reproductive health.

Introduction: There is good evidence that vaginal delivery can be associated with damage to the innervations of the pelvic floor as well as direct trauma to levator ani muscle and endo-pelvic fascia. This may result in the development of genuine stress incontinence. Postpartum stress incontinence can occur in up to 34% of women. Aim of the study was to assess the effect of postpartum women's training with reinforcement of pelvic floor muscles exercise on reduction and improvement of postpartum stress urinary incontinence
