<br/><br/> Children with learning disabilities can exhibit socio-emotional resilience or positive psychosocial adjustment despite risk presented by learning disability. Hence, social skills training can make significant results in various aspects of students' mental and behavioral health. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of a social skills training program on resilience, coping, emotion regulation, and self-esteem among learning disabled children. A convenience sample of 36 students aged between 8-12 years old were divided randomly into two groups, intervention and control groups. The effect of the program was measured by the child and youth resilience measure, child coping questionnaire, emotion regulation questionnaire, and self-esteem inventory. Results of the current study revealed that statistical significant differences were found between total scores of resilience, coping, emotion regulation, and self-esteem of study and control groups after the SST program.To conclude, the present study indicated positive impacts of social skills training on resilience and coping of children with learning disabilities. Further studies should be continued using social skills training as an intervention for children with learning disabilities
