Abstract

This study aimed to identify the most significant and common behavioral problems among primary school students with learning disabilities, from the perspective of their teachers, and to determine the prevalence of these problems. To achieve these objectives, the study employed a descriptive methodology. The researcher used the behavioral problems questionnaire developed by Salah El-Din Abu Nahia, administering it to a purposive sample of primary schools. The study yielded the following results: primary school students suffer from behavioral problems to a moderate degree, according to their teachers. Aggressive behavior ranked first in severity among the behavioral problems of primary school students, followed by deviant social behavior. The researcher recommended the establishment of guidance and awareness offices in schools for children and their parents. The researcher also recommended assigning special education teachers to address students' problems and monitor their academic progress.
