Identification of and services for students with learning disabilities share both similarities and differences across cultures, including the term(s) used to label and subsequently provide services for these students. In Arabic, the term learning disabilities translates to “learning difficulties.” This column provides a brief overview of the current educational system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the identification and services available for students with learning difficulties, and concludes with future directions. Much opportunity remains for supporting the needs of students with learning difficulties in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
