The purpose of this paper is to review and assess the Jordanian educational system and its provision of programs for students with learning disabilities (LD) in public schools. The author will document how these programs developed and how they currently address student needs. Issues related to current assessment practices, the role of resource room teachers, and challenges facing the inclusion of students with LD in programs are discussed. Results of the review and assessment revealed that programs offered to students with LD were still facing a variety of challenges. Among these are the lack of qualified teachers, appropriate finances, and lack of materials and equipment necessary to provide a "first class" education. Recommendations are made for teachers, other service providers, and policy makers to consider in developing critical components of successful special and inclusive education programs for students with LD.
