The purpose of the present paper is to clarify trends, results, and future issues in studies of the self-perception of students with learning disabilities (LD), through a review of studies in the published literature from many countries, from the 1970s, when the problem began to receive attention, to the present. Many researchers have reported that students with LD had lower academic self-perception than other students, and that their self-perception was influenced by their educational placement, perception of their disabilities, social support from others, and other people's understanding of students with LD. Recently, researchers who have examined the self-perception of students with LD in terms of its relation to the perceptions of others have reported that there are discrepancies between them. The future research should clarify the cause of such discrepancies and find problems relevant to them, as well as examine the details and degree of discrepancy between the self-perception of students with LD and other people's perceptions. Through these investigations, we need to reconsider the issues of the self-perception of students with LD, in terms of their relation-ships with others.
