      ab: The study at hand looks at teachers' opinions on the difficulties they meet when instructing English writing to students with learning Disabilities and examines the strategies they believe to be the most effective. Using a qualitative exploratory method, the data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with the sample of educators in the Qassim area. Recurring themes in the data were discovered through thematic analysis. Teachers said that traditional, rigid methods are inadequate, while adaptive implementations of evidence-based practices—such as task decomposition, visual scaffolding, and gamified repetition—are seen as extremely successful. The current study presently shows that teachers attribute writing challenges primarily to deficits in phonemic awareness, working memory, and visual perception, rather than simply a lack of drive. Task decomposition (chunking), visual scaffolding, routine-based repetition, collaborative learning, and technological support that are some of the successful tactics that have been documented. This study recommended that reforms at the policy level, such as longer evaluation times and specific teacher training in neuro-educational methods, considering these results of the study.
