Evaluating the Quality of Learning Disabilities Programs in Saudi Arabia from Teachers' Perspectives: Qualitative Study

This study investigates the quality of learning disabilities (LD) programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) from the perspectives of teachers directly involved in their implementation. The study adopts a qualitative research design, utilizing semi-structured interviews conducted with ten teachers of learning disabilities, including five male and five female teachers. The aim of the study is to explore teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of current LD programs, identify key challenges encountered in practice, and highlight areas for improvement. The findings reveal that while teachers demonstrate strong commitment and positive attitudes toward supporting students with learning disabilities, several challenges persist, particularly in relation to instructional resources, professional training, and individualized educational support. The study emphasizes the importance of strengthening support systems and enhancing program quality to better meet the diverse needs of students with learning disabilities and to advance inclusive education practices in Saudi Arabia schools.
