Strategies for Supporting Students with Learning Disabilities in General Education Setting in Saudi Arabia

This project provides a background of teaching students with learning disabilities in the United States and Saudi Arabia. It also points out to the current special education services and programs for students with learning disabilities in both countries. In addition, this project explains the major types and characteristics of students with learning disabilities. Not only that, but it also presents some strategies that educators and parents could use with this type of students. Services and resources that are available for Saudi Arabia’s students have been briefly explained in this research. Saudi Arabia keeps making improvements and changes in special education services. So, to improve special education services, educators, parents, and other professionals should consider the various suggestions that are available in this paper to develop their students’ progress and assist them to be more successful. Changing the perspectives of some people toward special education, especially learning disabilities and inclusion, required additional research. They can be supportive of these students in a general education setting.
