Disability laws in Saudi Arabia mandate that higher education institutions provide support for special needs learners in order to ensure educational opportunities equivalent to opportunities for their nondisabled peers. These institutions experience challenges, however, in providing the necessary support to undergraduate and postgraduate students with learning disabilities (LDs). We conducted an exploratory study to assess educational support requirements and affordances for undergraduate and postgraduate students with LDs attending institutions of higher education in Saudi Arabia. We completed semistructured interviews with 22 special needs learners diagnosed with a LD (16 undergraduate and six postgraduate). The findings suggest that additional support services are needed for undergraduate and postgraduate students with LDs attending Saudi institutions of higher education.

沙特阿拉伯高等教育学习障碍学生的教育支持

沙特阿拉伯的残障法律规定，高等教育机构应为有特殊需要的学习者提供支持，以确保他们获得与非残障同等机会相同的教育机会。但是，这些机构在向有学习障碍的大学生和研究生提供必要的支持方面面临挑战。我们进行了一项探索性研究，以评估在沙特阿拉伯高等教育机构就读的具有LD的本科生和研究生的教育支持要求和津贴。我们完成了对22名被诊断为LD的特殊需求学习者的半结构化访谈（16名本科生和6名研究生）。
