The study aimed to identify research priorities in the field of learning disabilities from the perspective of supervisors of learning disabilities programs. It also aimed to identify the most researched areas in this field. To achieve the study objectives, the researcher adopted the Delphi method. The study applied a questionnaire to a sample of 28 supervisors from learning disabilities programs in the Ministry of Education. The study instrument consisted of 30 items distributed across three main dimensions. The results of the survey, which lasted for three rounds with an agreement threshold set at 85% by the study sample, indicated a high level of agreement on the proposed research priorities for learning disabilities research across all areas, with an overall agreement percentage of 94%. The study found that the most prominent research priorities for learning disabilities were related to therapeutic interventions, which ranked first with a high level of agreement (96.73%). The priorities related to the characteristics of individuals with learning disabilities ranked second with an agreement percentage of 94%, while the priorities related to assessment and diagnostic procedures and tools ranked last with a high level of agreement and an average agreement percentage of 91%. Moreover, the study highlighted that the most researched topics by researchers included the characteristics of individuals with learning disabilities, the effectiveness of training programs and strategies, the use of assistive technology in teaching individuals with learning disabilities, and distance education. The study recommended the preparation of a guide for future research priorities in the field of learning disabilities aimed at researchers and stakeholders in this field, as well as the implementation of detailed studies on the three priorities mentioned above using the Delphi method.
