Abstract:
This study aimed at investigating the development of the spatial ability of students with learning disabilities in Asir region and its relation to some variables. The study also aimed at identifying the statistical differences in performing the spatial ability test due to students' grades, the type of learning disability, and gender. The necessary data of this study were gathered from the Vandenberg's (1975) computerized version of spatial ability test. The sample of the study included 320 students with learning disabilities who study in the schools of the Department of Education, Asir Region. The findings of the present study revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in performing the spatial test ability attrib uted to grade. However, the findings showed statistically significant differences in performing the spatial ability test attributed to the type of learning difficulty and gender. In light of the findings of this study, the researcher recommends paying much attention to learning disabilities in terms of providing trained personnel, training programs, and the appropriate diagnostic tools to obtain the greatest benefit and improve the abilities of students with learning disabilities.
