The study aimed to find out the effectiveness of an electronic educational program designed based on the principles of comprehensive learning design in improving arithmetic skills among students with a specific learning disorder in private schools in the capital Amman. The study population consisted of all students with a specific learning disorder in private schools in the capital Amman governorate. The study sample consisted of (30) male and female students who were intentionally selected from the resource rooms in a number of private schools, namely: (Islamic Scientific College, Boys Department, Mixed Primary Department, and Retal International Schools) in the Capital Governorate, Amman. Using the arithmetic skills test, they were divided into two close experimental and control groups, with (15) students per group. The semi-experimental method was also applied to achieve the goal of the study. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α=0.05) in the scores of students with a specific learning disorder on the arithmetic skills test according to the teaching method (using an electronic educational program in accordance with the principles of comprehensive learning design) and in favor of the experimental group. There were no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α=0.05) in the level of arithmetic skills due to the gender variable in the experimental group. The study recommended the application of the electronic educational program that was applied in this study because of its efficiency in improving the level of arithmetic skills among students with the learning disorder identified in the study sample.
