with learning Disabilities, in Irbid Governorate, and measure its effectiveness. To achieve the objectives of the study, the semi-experimental curriculum was used, and the study tools represented in the Mathematics skills scale and the proposed training program were built. The study community consisted of students with learning Disabilities in Irbid Governorate in the fourth grade who are in schools, 130 male students. The study sample was chosen in an intentional way and consisted of 30 students with learning Disabilities, and divided into Experimental group groups of 15 students, A control group of 15 students were randomly distributed. The data were analyzed and quantitative results were extracted through the Mann and They test to estímate the significance of the differences of the two independent samples, and the Wilcoxon test to estímate the significance of the differences of one sample. The results of the study on the effectiveness of the training program in Mathematics skills indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) between the average grade levels of the experimental and control group on the scale of Mathematics skills in favor of the experimental group. In light of the study's findings, it recommended that the training program be circulated to teachers of students with learning Disabilities, and recommended that studies be conducted to different groups. of the special education categories.
