The design of the current research is a descriptive and comparative causal study. The statistical population of the current research is all elementary school students in the 9th district of Tehran in 2015-2016. The sampling method is random. In this way, 60 students were randomly selected from among students with learning disabilities and normal students. Usher Children's Loneliness Scale and Colorado Learning Disabilities Scale were used to collect data and analyze data using analysis of variance and spss22 software.
