  ABSTRACT: This research basically aims to investigate the School Adjustment of an adolescent diagnosed with Special Learning Disabilities. More specifically, the adolescent’s Social Traits, Motives, and Personal Adjustment are being studied. For the purposes of the research, the qualitative methodological approach was chosen. Also, semi-structured interviews were conducted, based on the School Adjustment Scale (Power & Cotterell, 1979) [1]. Results showed that the adolescent with Special Learning Disabilities faces adjustment problems regarding general satisfaction from school and self-confidence for school performance. Anxiety, lack of self-confidence and reduced social skills are the main obstacles for School Adjustment. Results are discussed concerning the development of social, communicational and general attainments in adolescents with Specific Learning Disabilities.
