Abstract

The purpose of this literature review is to search, analyze, and identify the most significant trends, practices, and issues in the field of special education, especially the category of learning disabilities. As research expands, education, schools, and teachers of students with SLD go through different changes that require them to learn and dig deeper. These changes include ongoing practices, strategies, learning styles, interventions, and other trends for students with SLD. This paper discusses the current and common trends in educating individuals with SLD in 2022. Living with an advanced form and devices of technologies makes educators think about the ideal method of knowing and practicing its related subjects and complicated components. Research has shown that different teachers expressed challenges and issues regarding the new subjects and trends they must deal with, including their current practices, class behavior management, parents involvement, and students overall outcomes and achievements. The trends in the special education field are always progressing over time as the research goes on. Changes and trends sometimes make teachers struggle with the way they teach and accommodate their students with disabilities, especially those with SLD. This article applied specific procedures in this literature review, including identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion or exclusion. The major database used in this review was carried out following certain criteria and search engines, such as Google, The Saudi Digital Library, ResearchGate, Google scholar, Eric, SAGE, Scopus, and other engines. About 50 articles were detected and were under analysis. Some of these articles were excluded due to the issue of not meeting the criteria, such as different topics, coverage of the disability, and population type. After the analysis, more than 30 articles were included in this review. The findings of the papers were qualitatively analyzed and described. The findings showed different main themes, including assistive technology, accessibility, evidence-based practice, cultural consideration and responsiveness, and parental support and student independence. The results showed that teachers and practitioners still face these issues when dealing with those with SLD. The findings of this review can predict a basis for teachers, parents, care agencies, and decision-makers. This paper will discuss and outline detailed information about what this century has for those with learning difficulties and the possible practices and challenges that students, parents, and teachers currently encounter.
