In line with the relational survey method, the sample included 219 students with learning disabilities, aged 13-16, who were selected through a convenience sampling approach. Datas were collected eith Personal Information Form, the Adolescent Peer Relationships Assessment Scale Victim Form, and the SEL Skills Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 29, with descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, ANOVA for detecting differences, correlation analysis for identifying relationships between variables, and multiple linear regression tests to assess predictive power. The findings indicated that the SEL skill levels and experiences of peer bullying among students with disabilities significantly differed based on gender and the socio-economic status of the family. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between students’ SEL skills and their exposure to peer bullying. It was also determined that the subdimensions of SEL skills in LD students predicted their experiences of peer bullying.}, number={2}, publisher={Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi}
