This study aims to explore the factors influencing learning disabilities among university students. Our primary sample comprises students with learning disabilities (SLD) from SEGI University, Malaysia. Data collection is conducted through the distribution of questionnaires. Based on an extensive review of previous literature and the theoretical frameworks of self-determination theory and social cognitive theory, we have identified independent variables, including Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, accommodations services, faculty attitude and knowledge, emotions, educational support, and an inclusive alumni network. The dependent variable is students' learning disabilities. Finally, we explore the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using the data we collected. Through this research, gaining insights into the situation of college students with learning disabilities (SLD) can provide essential information to governments and educational institutions. This, in turn, can facilitate the development of more inclusive education policies, ensuring that the needs of students with learning disabilities (SLD) are comprehensively addressed.
